New Book About Indians
The story of Lone Wolf, the
Rider (Guipagho), famous Kiow-a
Indian Chief, “Red Raiders
Retaliate” is in a hook published
last fall by Pioneer Book
Publishers—Neil Vanzant— in
Seagraves.
Compiled by J. Lee Jones Jr. of
Colorado City, the story has been
extensively researched and tells
of the episodes during the career
Red
Raiders
Retaliate
Hie Story of Lone II o/J. I lie hitler
((niiini^lio)
Famous Kiowa Indian ( hie)
Loop students qualify
for region competition
of the famous chief, extending
from 184(1 until his death in 1879.
Jones has an interesting para-
graph about Quanah Parker in his
hook.
Only 93 pages in length, there
are interesting photos from the
Smithsonian Institute, Fort Sill
Museum, Colorado City Museum
and others. Art sketches are by
Carolyn K. Walker.
Jones tells how' Lone Wolf, the
Elder (Guipagho) participated in
the battle against Anglo buffalo
hunters at Adobe Walls, in the
fight with Texas Rangers at Lost
Valley, and the engagement with
the U.S. cavalry in Palo Duro
Canyon. (Guipagho is Kiowa for
an old lone wolf.)
Interwoven with the narrative is
the love of Lone Wolf, the Elder
for his favorite son. Tau-ankia,
and his nephew, Guitan, who were
killed by U.S. troops in 1873. The
compiler sites convincing evi-
dence that the two are buried on
Lone Wolt Mountain in what later
became Mitchell County, Texas.
Residents of Gaines County
sometimes forget the fact that the
Comanches were not the only
Indians w ho traveled through this
area. Historians in recent years
have written about Kiowas,
Semmoles and other tribes as they
sought watering places through-
out the Staked Plains. Some of
these facts will he discussed next
week.
