Empire of the Summer Moon is a nonfictional book written by S. C. Gwynne. It is based on American history and a notable personality from the past with significant contributions to history. David Drummond has done the narration of this book and what a pleasant experience he has made for the audience with his powerful and soulful voice.
The Empire of the Summer Moon book actually encapsulates two distinct and astonishing stories. The first of these stories traces both the rise and fall of the most resourceful Red Indian tribe ever in the history of America. They were known as Comanches.
The second story traces one of the finest and remarkable narratives that were ever experienced out from the Old West. It is actually the epic saga of Cynthia Ann Parker, who is a pioneer woman and then also Quanah, her mixed blood son, who went on to become not only the last one, but also the greatest ever chief of the Comanches tribe.
Although, the viewers here might be familiar with the names of Sioux and Apache, but it was actually the astonishing fighting capability of the Comanches, which determined that how and when the American end opened up from the West. They were all extremely skillful in war tactics and using arrows and lances.
The war fought with the Cormanches tribe lasted for as long as 4 decades and that actually held up the development of the novice America for as long time.
There are several other books that S. C. Gwynne has written on different topics and aspects of American history. A couple of his recommended books are Rebel Yell and Hymns of the Republic.
