Comanche encampment. A lone woman sits in her tipi (left) with hide coverings rolled up to let in breezes. Note the faint imprint of name of frontier photographer, W.S. Soule, across top of photo. The circa 1867-1874 photo is identified as Quah-ah-da Comanche camp, possibly that of famed Comanche chief, Quanah Parker.
