As the white American migration headed West it was inevitable that violence would follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1840, some Comanche chiefs attempted to make peace with the Texas government under a white flag of truce in a Council House in San Antonio. There was a misunderstanding by the Texans and what followed was a massacre of the Chiefs, sparking a lasting bitterness in the Comanche people and one Comanche war chief particularly - Po-cha-na-quar-hip, known as “Buffalo Hump”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word spread to the other bands of Comanches that he was raiding the white settlements in revenge, all the way from the plains of west Texas to the cities of Victoria and Linnville (second largest port in Texas at that time). This attack would become known as the Great Raid of 1840.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the time of the Great Raid, many trade goods were en route from overseas to New Orleans, Louisiana to San Antonio, Texas and Austin, Texas. In addition to the cloth and other trade goods usually present in the Linnville warehouse at that time were several cases of hats and umbrellas belonging to James Robinson, a San Antonio merchant. \u003cem\u003e\"These the Indians made free with, and went dashing about the blazing village, amid their screeching squaws and `little Injuns,' like demons in a drunken saturnalia, with Robinson's hats on their heads and Robinson's umbrellas bobbing about on every side.\"\u003c\/em\u003e After loading loot onto pack mules, the raiders, grandly attired in their booty, finally began their retreat on the afternoon on August 8, 1840.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis-oo-san-chees - The Little Spaniard (sculpted with bow and shield) was described by painter George Catlin:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"He is half Spanish, and being a half-breed, for whom they generally have the most contemptuous feelings, he has been all his life thrown into the front of battle and danger; at which posts he has signalized himself, and commanded the highest admiration and respect of the tribe for his daring and adventurous career.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePack contains 4 metal figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warlord Games\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Powder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStock Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf this item is not currently in stock at time of order, we will order it for you as a \u003cstrong\u003eDirect Order\u003c\/strong\u003e from Warlord Games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirect Order items are sourced directly from the manufacturer on your behalf.
