Quanah Live Cam

Quanah is a city located in the state of Texas, United States. It is the county seat of Hardeman County and is situated in the northern part of the state. The city's history is closely tied to the life and legacy of Quanah Parker, a prominent Comanche leader and warrior.

Quanah Parker was born around 1845 near Elk Creek in what is now Oklahoma. He was the son of Comanche chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, a white woman who had been kidnapped by the Comanches as a child. Quanah Parker emerged as a significant figure in the late 19th century, leading his people during a tumultuous time of conflict and transition.

During the 1870s, as white settlers moved westward into Comanche territory, tensions escalated between the Comanches and the settlers. Quanah Parker became a prominent figure in the Red River War, a military campaign launched by the United States Army against several Native American tribes, including the Comanches. The conflict resulted in the relocation of the Comanches to a reservation in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in 1875.
