Quanah Halal Travel Guide

The Medicine Mounds|Although now located on private property with very limited access and these 5 dolomite mounds were to the Comanche not only a magic place of healing. They also provided a meeting place for flint trade, a lookout which provided views of the plains for 50 miles all around, and a training ground for horsemanship. Visible into the 1940s but now overgrown and there was once a track around the mounds over which Quanah Parker and his braves raced horses in training for attacks on the white buffalo hunters. The mounds are easily visible from US 287 east of town.

Quanah was named after Quanah Parker, known as the last chief of the Comanches. His mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, was captured in 1820 by the Comanches. She became assimilated into the group, marrying a Comanche and having children, of whom Quanah was the first. She was later "rescued" by the white settlers in a location near Copper Breaks State Park|Copper Breaks south of town, and never allowed contact with her husband or children again, starving herself to death two years later. Quanah went on to lead a large band of Comanches in attacks against hunters and the U.S. Army in an effort to retain tribal lands and save the great buffalo herds, which the whites were mercilessly and wastefully killing off at an alarming rate. He participated in many famous battles throughout the Texas Panhandle|Panhandle, including the Second Battle of Adobe Walls, near modern-day Borger. When finally cornered at Palo Duro Canyon in 1875, Quanah's band was the last group of free Plains Indians to be forced onto a reservation, bringing an end to the Red River War. Quanah subsequently became something of an advocate for westernization, quickly learning English and Spanish and converting to a form of Christianity. He was eventually named chief of all the Comanche people. By 1905 he was parading with Geronimo in the inaugural parade for Theodore Roosevelt, with whom he went on occasional hunting trips. Quanah Parker is now buried at Fort Sills in Oklahoma.
