On a late November morning in 1864, Col. Kit Carson and his US troops, under orders from the commander of the New Mexico Military Department, attacked Kiowa Chief Dohasan's winter village in the Texas Panhandle. Warriors retaliated with stiff resistance as their women and children escaped. Fighting proceeded down the Canadian River to the abandoned trading post of Adobe Walls as hundreds more Kiowas and Comanches joined the battle. Nearing sunset, Carson's troops burned Dohasan's village, and although remarkably few lives were lost in the battle itself, the enduring consequences were hardly insignificant.
