Story

The 1874–1875 Red River War was the U.S. Army campaign that forced Comanche, Kiowa, Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples from the Texas Panhandle onto reservations. Adobe Walls, Palo Duro Canyon and bison destruction explain how the Southern Plains changed so quickly.

Story

Texas looks like a lake-rich state on the map, but nearly every familiar inland lake is really a river or creek held behind a dam. The reason is a Texas story about drought, floods, fast-growing cities and the enormous water system built between them.
