Winedale Zoom Talk: “The Battle of Adobe Walls”

On Tuesday, November 19 at noon (via Zoom), Tammy Scarbrough, Lead Educator/Interpreter and Volunteer Coordinator at the Charles and May Anne Goodnight Ranch Historic Site will discuss the Battle of Adobe Walls. She will explain that how, after years of hostile actions from Native Americans and broken treaties by the U.S. government, things came to a head in the Summer of 1874. The Second Battle of Adobe Walls took place near present day Stinett, TX and was the catalyst for the Red River War. The Comanche force of 700 warriors, led by Quanah Parker, faced off against a group of 28 buffalo hunters. E-mail tricia.blakistone@austin.utexas.edu for a link to this zoom talk.
