Claude, Texas
Claude, Texas
Armstrong County and Claude, Texas
have strong ties to rancher Charles Goodnight,
1836-1929, friend of Quanah Parker.
A Comanche beaded purse given to
Cleo Hubbard by one of Quanah Parker’s wives is on display in the Armstrong County Museum.
In a January 1911 letter sent from Cache, Oklahoma, Quanah Parker tells Col. Goodnight that he has moved the remains of his mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, to Cache.
At the end of the letter, Quanah writes:
I am going to bring some old Indians to your place and see your buffalos and make these old Indians glad.
Yours truly,
Quanah Parker
