How Arrogant Ignorance and Cultural Misconceptions Turned Deadly at the San Antonio Courthouse, March 19, 1840
WHAT WENT WRONG? HOW ARROGANT IGNORANCE AND CULTURAL MISCONCEPTIONS TURNED DEADLY AT THE SAN ANTONIO COURTHOUSE, MARCH 19, 1840 Cristen Paige Copeland, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2008 APPROVED: Richard McCaslin, Major Professor F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Harland D. Hagler, Committee Member Adrian Lewis, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Copeland, Cristen Paige, What Went Wrong? How Arrogant Ignorance and Cultural Misconceptions Turned Deadly at the San Antonio Courthouse, March 19, 1840. Master of Arts (History), May 2008, 116 pp., references, 83 titles. Although the Council House Fight is well written about in the annals of early Texas history, this all-encompassing study will reveal a whole new picture. Unlike previous works that maintained one point of view, multiple perspectives were analyzed and explored to allow a more comprehensive view of the Council House Fight to emerge. Primary focus on social and cultural misunderstandings, as well as the mounting hostility between the Penateka Comanche and Texians across the frontier, will demonstrate their general distrust and hatred of the other. Detailing their complicated relationship will prove that neither the Texians nor the Comanche were without blame, and both shared responsibility for the deterioration of events on and before March 19, 1840.

KATEMCY: the COMANCHE PEACEMAKER by Joseph Luther, Ph.D
KATEMCY: THE COMANCHE PEACEMAKER By Joseph Luther, Ph.D. September 13, 2020 Give us a country we can call our own, where we can bury our people in quiet. ~ Katemcy Comanche chief Katemcy is one of the unrecognized champions of the Penateka (Pen-ah- took-uh) Comanches of Texas. Although a subchief under Santa Anna, it was Katemcy who first met with Meusebach in 1847 at the present-day site of Mason, Texas. It was Katemcy who made possible the celebrated treaty between the Fredericksburg Germans under the leadership of John O. Meusebach and the Penateka Comanches on the San Saba River.1 The Treaty of Peace between John Meusebach and the Penateka band opened up almost four million acres for settlement. All or part of Concho, Kimble, Llano, Mason, McCulloch, Menard, San Sabá, Schleicher, Sutton and Tom Green Counties were created as a result of the treaty.2 Ten years earlier, the main movement of early Euro-American settlements was up the south-central river valleys of the Brazos, Colorado and Guadalupe rivers. The Comanches fiercely resisted their encroachments with destructive and deadly raids on the frontier. Just above the Balcones Escarpment, where the Penateka Comanches liked to camp in the Hill Country canyons, the Texans and Comanches began to do battle.3 Despite campaigns by the Texas Rangers, the lands west of the Balcones Escarpment were in the control of the Penateka Comanches. Frontiersmen to the south and east of the Edwards Plateau continued to be in constant peril.4 The Penateka, or “Honey-Eaters,” band of Comanches occupied the Balcones Escarpment and especially the San Saba River region.
