Hostile Comanche warriors tear three young women away from their families. The three young women are forcibly taken back to a Comanche village located inside Blanco Canyon. A small company of Texas Rangers are dispatched to rescue the three young women from the Comanches. Can these Texas Rangers rescue the three young women and bring them safely back to their families? Or will the three young women remain trapped living with the hostile Comanches for the rest of their lives? Cooper McCaw, a former cavalry officer who was stripped of his rank and branded a coward, was summoned to Fort Concho by its commanding officer. Cooper is offered a chance to be reinstated back into the cavalry with his old rank if he agrees to journey into Blanco Canyon, kidnap a Comanche warrior named White Buffalo, and then bring White Buffalo safely back to Fort Concho alive. Will Cooper be able to fulfill this mission, or will he fail and forever be branded a coward?

The 500 ft deep Blanco Canyon, in the Texas Panhandle, in October 1871, was the site of the main skirmish of Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie's campaign against the Plains Comanches, known as the Battle of Blanco Canyon. The Comanche Moon arose blood-red over Blanco Canyon. The Comanches were led by Chief Quanah Parker. This book, "Comanche Moon Of Blanco Canyon", details the true events as recorded by Lt. Robert Goldthwaite Carter. Read the exciting account and Texas history will come alive with Comanches stampeding through the army camp, the soldier's pursuit, the Comanche ambush, ascending the steep walls of Blanco Canyon and facing a "Texas blue norther" over the treeless Caprock Escarpment and the barren Llano Estacado.
