Adobe Walls

In 1874, the Second Battle of Adobe Walls took place in the Texas Panhandle. Approximately 700 Comanche, Kiowa, and Cheyenne attacked a camp of around 30 buffalo hunters and laid siege for several days. According to the Texas State Historical Association, the main significance of the battle was that it caused the Red River War, which ended in the relocation of the Southern Plains Indians to what is now Oklahoma.

Here is a song by Fort Worth's Cody Jinks from his Adobe Sessions album.
