It was a pretty good complex western, though not up to the level of Allen Le May's work. Wellman made a good living in the 1950's and sold this novel and another, "The Iron Mistress" about Jim Bowie to the movies. Both books are readable today.
Oh, Comancheros are traders, usually from Santa Fe, who provided the Comanches with guns, and other supplies. Sometimes they were helpful in rescuing white captives. ( )

Enoyable traditional western about New Orleans gambler who had to run to Texcas and ends up in the Rangers dealing with the Comancheros whjo traded with the Comanches for loot from Texan settlements. It turns out the woman who he had to flee New Orleans over is the daughter of the Comanchero leader...This has the traditional high view of the Rangers which some now see as ignoring some rather ugly racism, but it is enjyable on its own terms.

Poorly told. ( )
