br. Figlio di un guerriero pellerossa e di una donna bianca rapita a nove anni, Quanah Parker è stato l'ultimo e più grande capo dei Comanche, la nazione indiana che, per buona parte dell'Ottocento, ha dominato sulle Grandi Pianure. Quanah fu un capo autorevole e combattivo. Ma nulla poté contro la tecnologia dei bianchi (le armi a ripetizione e la ferrovia), e contro la ferocia con cui sterminarono le mandrie di bisonti. Pur senza aver mai perso una battaglia, comprese che era il momento di ritirarsi nella riserva dimostrandosi tanto saggio quanto coraggioso. La vita sua e di tutto il suo popolo rivive in questo saggio: un epico racconto sulla frontiera americana ricolmo di azioni cruente, sottili intrighi politici, coraggio, dolore e amore.
