They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrowsand lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern UnitedStates were surprised to find the frontier being rolled backward byComanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands.
