For the Karankawas and the Tonkawas, the period from 1821 to 1859 was particularly devastating. Once thriving communities, the Karankawas survived only as scattered individuals, and the few remaining Tonkawas had been pushed across the Red River into Indian Territory. Kelly F. Himmel's account of this conquest explores geopolitical and economic factors, as well as the role of individual and collective human actors.
