Lord of the Plains is probably one of the better ones written. It takes place in that west Texas region known as the Llano Estacado, a vast, featureless plain where, In the 1870s, the Commanches have retreated in the face of expanding white settlement. One of the aspects of this novel that I enjoyed was the sense of place the author Max Crawford evokes. Also, it will have you looking up places and events in Wikiepdia or elsewhere and I enjoy that about a book. To me it almost overshadows the main characters and plot.

In this historical novel by Max Crawford, the U.S. 2nd Cavalry rolls into Texas in the 1870s with orders to keep the peace and persuade the fierce Comanches to move quietly onto the reservation. Captain Philip Chapman tells a tale of high adventure: the hardships of a forced cavalry march, an ambush by the Comanches, an idyllic summer camp at the Caballo Ranch, the epic trek made by Chapman and his K Troop across the Ilano estacado, and defeat of Tehana Storm, legendary half-white Comanche chieftain, in the decisive battle at Palo Duro Canyon.
