Written on board: "Comanche (Espipermi) Plains. Contact print for large plate supplementing Vol. XIX of Edward S. Curtis' "The North American Indian" (1930) VOL. XIX Plate 682 (over) There were no more vigorous people among the Indians of the Plains than the Comanche, a Shoshonean tribe related to the Shoshone and Bannock of Idaho, from which region they entered the northern plains and drifted ever southward, following the bison in their wanderings. They were noted warriors and raiders, being the enemies of many tribes and extending their depredation far into Mexico. One need look no further than the accompanying portraits to discern the warrior character of these [men]."
