Matador, Texas
Quanah Parker spent time in the Matador area as a Kwahadi Comanche leader, both during his years as a warrior and later as a chief in times of peace.
Several photographs document the Comanche presence in the area and Quanah’s visits to both the Matador Ranch and to the city of Matador.
People crowd the street in downtown Matador to hear Chief Quanah speak.
