A Kiowa ledger drawing possibly depicting the Buffalo Wallow battle in 1874, one of several clashes between Southern Plains Indians and the U.S. Army during the Red River War. Image from TARL Collections (TMM-1988-21 Reverse). The Red River War led to the end of an entire way of life for the Southern Plains tribes and brought about a new chapter in Texas history. A number of factors led to the military's campaign against the Indians. The Comanches did not arrive on the South Plains as a unified body but rather in numerous family groups or bands. The band structure of Comanche society was not rigid, and bands coalesced and broke apart, depending on the needs and goals of their members. When Texans won their independence from Mexico in 1836 the Comanches and their allies were still in absolute control of the Texas plains. They frequently conducted raids on frontier settlements from San Antonio to northern Mexico. For the next 50 years the Comanche were located between the Platte River and the Arkansas River. This was in Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas. In the 1740's they began crossing the Arkansas River and settled on the Llano Estacada land. It was located from Western Oklahoma across the Texas Panhandle into New Mexico.
