Meanwhile, Pontiac designs a clever scheme to break the siege at the well defended fort - a scheme so cunningly designed as to have every chance of success. Volume 3 is the conclusion of this engaging work. This book was written in 1832 and incorporates all the attitudes and perspectives of class, race and culture prevalent at the time. Some of the terminology is now considered offensive but was common in the nineteenth century. It is a powerful and engaging story, although the style of writing is extremely convoluted and complex, and can be difficult to read. I hope hearing it helps you enjoy it.

  An Epic Novel of Survival, Loss, and the Enduring Human Spirit 
  "Comanche Apocalypse: Lords of the Plains" is a sweeping historical epic that chronicles the tragic yet inspiring 160-year journey of the Comanche people from their golden age as masters of the Great Plains to their forced adaptation in the modern world. Through the eyes of unforgettable characters spanning five generations, this powerful novel transforms historical tragedy into deeply personal human drama. 
  The story begins in the 1750s with Standing Bull and his teenage son Sacred Spirit, Comanche warriors living in perfect harmony with the vast buffalo herds that sustained their people for countless generations. Their world is one of freedom, spiritual connection to the land, and the proud traditions of the Nʉmʉnʉʉ—"The People." But this paradise is shattered when the invisible enemy of smallpox arrives, killing Sacred Spirit's beloved four-year-old sister Bright Star and decimating their band. This devastating epidemic marks the beginning of a relentless apocalypse that will test the Comanche spirit to its very limits. 
  As Sacred Spirit grows into a war chief, he witnesses the systematic destruction of everything his people hold sacred. White buffalo hunters slaughter the great herds not for food but for hides alone, destroying the foundation of Comanche existence in an act of environmental warfare. Sacred Spirit's nephew Wind Walker, consumed by rage and the desire for vengeance, dies in a futile raid on a military fort, embodying the tragic cost of violent resistance.
