Comanches: The History of a People by T.R. Fehrenbach

3.0

One downside of audiobooks is that the original publication date isn't always easily viewed. The language occasionally used by Fehrenbach is cringeworthy but slightly understandable for a book published in the 1970s (when it was written) but completely unacceptable for one released in 2024 (when the audiobook was first released). I think Fehrenbach is a pretty decent historian -- and there were many good takeaways from this book -- but I had to work to see past the Peter-Pan-esque way he often described the peoples about whom he was writing.
