Comancheros

The Comancheros were a vivid and unruly blend of frontier worlds — part outlaw, part trader, part wanderer. They were of mixed Mexican, New Mexican, and Comanche descent who operated mainly in the 19th century across the southern Great Plains, especially in what’s now New Mexico and West Texas. Their world smelled of leather, sweat, mesquite smoke, and horsehair -- a twilight culture where Spanish prayers mingled with Comanche war songs. Not to be confused with the movie starring John Wayne.
