  • Comanches;
  • Kiowas and Kiowa Apaches
  • Jumanos
  • Wichitas

  • "Newcomb's book is likely to remain the best general work on Texas Indians for a long time." —American Antiquity
    "An excellent and long-needed survey of the ethnography of the Indian tribes who resided within the present limits of Texas since the beginning of the historic period. . . . The book is the most comprehensive. scholarly, and authoritative account covering all the Indians of Texas, and is an invaluable and indispensable reference for students of Texas history, for anthropologists, and for lovers of Indian lore." —Ethnohistory
    "Dr. Newcomb writes persuasively and with economy, and he has used his material very well indeed. . . . His presentation makes good reading of what might have been a book only for the specialists." —Saturday Review
