History at The OK Corral

Few stories in Old West history are as controversial as The Second Battle Of Adobe Walls. While it is undoubtedly one of the most pivotal battles in American history, the truth of what happened at this remote outpost for buffalo hunters remains clouded by myth and mystery.
Tonight, History At The OK Corral seeks to remedy that.
In 1874, the tiny four-building outpost known as Adobe Walls was a gathering place for some of the roughest most ruthless characters in Old West history: the buffalo hunters.
Many are veterans of the Civil War, and others are young men in search of a new life on the frontier. But all of them are hated by the tribes who have made their homes on the plains for centuries, and depend on the buffalo as their primary food source.
For almost a decade, they have watched the herds that they depend on decimated by over-hunting and greed. And now, they have decided to put an end to this trouble.
After being convinced by a conniving medicine man that they must band together and rid their homelands of the white man once and for all, a large band of Comanche, Cheyenne, Kiowa and Arapahoe warriors descend upon a remote outpost on the plains of North Texas.
The place is known as Adobe Walls, and the buffalo hunters who live there will soon be in the fight of their lives. Quanah Parker, legendary chief of the Comanche will lead the attack. What follows become one of the most legendary battles in Old West history.

If this battle was fought 10 times, I think 9 of those times the Native force would have massacred the buffalo hunters in minutes. It's amazing that they didn't. Comanches were fierce, but they spooked easy, and this battle, nothing went right for them, which I'm sure spooked them as bad medicine.
Well done video!
The reason that I became a history professor is because the truth is almost Always more interesting than fiction. Oftentimes Hollywood will modify a true story because the truth is so incredible that audiences won't accept it.
