The huge Comanche war party crosses into…
August 1840 CE
Although rangers had found the tracks of a gigantic war party coming out of West Texas, and are shadowing the onrushing Comanches, part of the war party breaks off and attacks Victoria before the citizens can be warned.
The citizens of Victoria hide in the buildings, and the Comanches, after killing a dozen or so townspeople and riding up and down, depart Victoria when rifle fire from the buildings begins to make the riding dangerous.
The war party intends to gather horses and loot the coastal towns, which are not as prepared for the Comanches as the central Texas cities.
After the attack on Victoria, the Comanches camp the night of August 6 on nearby Spring Creek.
