Description
Comanche Tribal Police Sergeant Daniel Killstraight is sent to Fort Worth, Texas, with another Indian-school educated Comanche, Charles Flint, to show off Captain Richard Pratt's Carlisle Industrial School and his theory of "Killing the Indian" to save the man -- i.e., turn the Comanches and other Indians into "white men" by assimilation. Chief Quanah Parker is in Fort Worth, too, mainly to negotiate a new lease agreement with powerful Texas ranchers who need the Comanche grasslands for their vast herds. But when a gas lamp is blown out in a hotel room, leaving one Comanche dead and Quanah in a life-or-death struggle, Daniel begins to believe that it was no accident.
