The Comanche Wars began in 1706 with raids by Comanche warriors on the Spanish colonies of New Spain and continued until the last bands of Comanche surrendered to the United States Army in 1875, although a few Comanche continued to fight in later conflicts such as the Buffalo Hunters' War in 1876 and 1877.

The soldiers who followed again opened fire, killing and wounding both Comanche and Texians. With his long, straight black hair hanging down, he sat there with the earnest (to the European almost apathetic) expression of countenance of the North American savage. Their trial strategy of arguing that the two chiefs were simply fighting a war for their people's survival attracted worldwide attention and galvanized opposition to the entire process. In August 1843, a temporary treaty accord led to a ceasefire between the Comanches and their allies, and the Texians. The results of the battle are still being debated since the Rangers reported 80 Comanches were killed but only 12 bodies were found [7] The Comanches claimed to have killed 11 Texas Rangers. He then finished his speech with the comment, "how do you like that answer?

Austin created the first Rangers by hiring 10 men; they were paid to fight Indians and protect the colonial settlements.
