5/24/2023 0 Comments Empire summer moon book![]() ![]() Nearly every sentence of this incredibly dense book is cited to original source material. It’s no wonder it was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. This book uses the events surrounding the Parker family as the glue that holds the timeline of the Texas, and American West, versus the Comanches, notably the “most powerful Indian tribe in American History.”Įmpire of Summer Moon, is f’n incredible. This is what happened to the Parker family one morning in 1836 by the local Comanches. The unlucky ones were raped, scalped alive, and left to bleed out. The kidnapped ones were the lucky ones, as they got to live on in either indentured servitude or sold off. One day, they come in, rape, kill, steal, and kidnap the people of your family. But, unbeknownst to you, this new frontier actually belongs to someone else, and they’re pissed. There you build a protective community, where everyone you know and love can have nice, safe, and warm housing. So you gathered your family from the home they’ve only known, gathered your entire life, and moved. It’s a lot, because you’re venturing into a new frontier. Humor me for a second and imagine that you just bought some beautiful property. ![]() ![]() This book is some Game of Thrones, but in real life shit. It’s incredibly written, and well researched, and I think many would be entertained by it, but by no means would I consider it an easy read. You really need to be into history to consume the dense amount of information in this book. ![]()
