NOTES

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The family was on the road to Texas, traveling through No Man's Land, a strip of geographic afterthought in the far western end of the Oklahoma Panhandle. The land was so threadbare that the Great Plains tilted slightly. They considered selling the organ, their prized possession, and making another horse purchase. #2 The family made it to No Man's Land, which was Cimarron County, Oklahoma. The children were excited to see how it looked different from Texas, as they had never been that far before. #3 The Comanche were a Native American tribe that lived in what is now Texas. They were extremely skilled horse riders, and their Charging Cheer was a great asset on the battlefield, as they could charge at the Texans and Europeans with great efficiency. #4 The signing of the Medicine Lodge Agreement did not save the bison, as the Texas Rangers continued to hunt them, and their meat was used for food by the Comanche
