- The Battle of Blanco Canyon was the decisive battle of Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie's initial campaign against the Comanche in West Texas, and marked the first time the Comanches had been attacked in the heart of their homeland. It was also the first time a large military force explored the heart of Comancheria. On 12 August 1871 Mackenzie and Colonel Benjamin Grierson were asked by Indian Agent Lawrie Tatum to begin an expedition against the Kotsoteka and Quahadi Comanche bands, both of whom had refused to relocate onto a reservation after the Warren Wagon Train Raid. Col. Mackenzie assembled a powerful force consisting of eight companies of the Fourth United States Cavalry, two companies of the Eleventh Infantry, and a group of twenty Tonkawa scouts. (en)
- La bataille de Blanco Canyon qui eut lieu le 10 octobre 1871 est le point culminant de la campagne militaire menée par le colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie de la United States Army contre plusieurs groupes de Comanches dans l'ouest du Texas à l'automne 1871. Le matin du 10 octobre, alors qu'ils poursuivaient un petit groupe d'Amérindiens, un petit détachement de soldats américains fut pris en embuscade. L'arrivée du gros des troupes contraignit les guerriers comanches à se retirer. Mackenzie et ses troupes les poursuivirent durant plusieurs jours, les obligeant à abandonner dans leur fuite une partie de leur matériel et de leurs provisions. (fr)
