Close up of Quanah Parker (~1845-1911), the Last Comanche chief.
Quanah's 2nd wife in 1872 was Weakeah, daughter of Penateka Comanche subchief Yellow Bear (aka Old Bear).
Although first espoused to another warrior, she and Quanah eloped, and took several other warriors with them.
It was from this small group that the large Quahadi band would form. Yellow Bear pursued the band and eventually
Quanah made peace with him. The two bands united, forming the largest force of Comanche Indians. Wikipedia
