The Apache Indians established dominance over the Spanish as they raided and destroyed settlements. However, Spanish technology created a far more dangerous and threatening presence that will upend the power dynamic of the region and push the Apache to the brink of extinction. This story demonstrates the tumultuous era of fierce tribal warfare and relentless conquest and the shocking truth behind the downfall of the Apache Indians. Witness how the Apache, once a dominant force, fell victim to the relentless onslaught of their arch-rivals, the Comanche, in a merciless “War of Extermination.“ Three books really helped me in researching this episode. I encourage you to check them out. They are listed below: Comanches: The History of a People by T.R. Fehrenbach The Empire of the Summer Moon by S.C. Gwynne The Lipan Apaches: People of Wind and Lightning by Thomas A. Britten.
