Will be interesting. Hopefully he doesn’t make the Rangers as bad guys. My father was one so am always skeptical when they’re portrayed.

EXCLUSIVE: Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan and his Bosque Ranch have optioned the S.C. Gwynne book Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History. Bidding was competitive, and Bosque was aggressive to win the book. Sheridan and Jenny Wood will produce for Bosque Ranch.
quote:
Quanah and the Comanches drove back the Spanish and French, but the settlers coming from the Eastern states were more formidable. They created the Texas Rangers and fortified them with the six gun, for which the Comanches had no answer. Sheridan has a high regard for Quanah. With a slew of series under his deals with Paramount Global and 101 Studios, e spends much time at the Four Sixes, running the sprawling ranch as he crafts the final episodes of Yellowstone and 1923 as well as all the other series he’s into. The founder of the Texas ranch that Sheridan and his partners bought had relics that include Quanah’s lance (which now is in a nearby museum). When Burk Burnett established the ranch in 1870, his friend Quanah who told him exactly where to build. The chief went out and killed a deer, and the antlers are part of the massive stone fireplace in the main living room. “I can’t think of anyone better qualified to bring Empire of the Summer Moon to the screen than Taylor Sheridan,” the author said. “He has a deep and nuanced understanding of both the myth and reality of the Old West. I am thrilled that he is undertaking this project.”

I bought that book by mistake but enjoyed reading it.

Lol I will bet 1000 SFP bucks this is directly related to his recent appearance on JRE. Rogan told him about this exact book when they were discussing natives and the West.

Taylor Sheridan to Write
Can this motherfricker at least finish all the shite he has going on currently before starting something new?

If it doesn’t cold open with the Comanches attacking and slaughtering the whites at Fort Parker in full brutality and taking Cynthia Ann then Sheridan is a limp dick
Set the stage accurately, fricking Comanches we’re the most brutal of all

The last two physical books I bought were empire of the summer moon and killers of the flower moon, a year apart.
The confusion is palpable.
And it is a good book. So much of it is outside of Quanah Parker and exploring the rise of the Comanche and the Texians battle with them that it almost would feel like an anthology more than a biopic.
Also, atrocious that this would get made before Devil in the White City considering how long that one has been in developmental hell.

I actually really appreciated the books honesty about the brutality and duplicity of both sides. They maintained the noble savage part of their story while depicting the horrors of the Parker assault without pulling punches.

What I can’t really justify is buying the Adapted for Young Readers version of Killers of the Flower Moon. I gave up after that.

Did not read the book but there was nothing "noble" about the Comanche.
Burned men alive,gang raped women,infants and small children were summarily killed.
There wasn't a more brutal or sick tribe in the history of indigenous peoples.

I’m not arguing against that but he does highlight some of their bravery and elusiveness.
They are savages but let’s not act like European culture was better before the rise of the Catholic Church.
I’m glad we beat the natives. The better, advanced, and more civil culture won. But I’m not going to pretend the same people that won the Indian wars wasn't also just 40 years removed from slavery.

Don’t know if you read the book but it details how weak the Comanche were until they started trading and stealing horses from the Spanish. Then they freaking dominated the plains.
Again, great book. If you like Eric Larsen, read this one.
ETA: I’m obviously over active in this thread. I apologize. I grew up in West Texas with a mother obsessed with Southwest history.
I took ONE, I repeat ONE vacation my entire childhood.
And it was my parents taking me on a trip the Mesa Cliff Dwellings, Santa Fe, Southwestern museum of Native American History. I hated it at the time but kinda have a love for it now.

This right here.
Yellowstone has gone to hell but would still like to see the ending.
1923 has been hit or miss but would also like to see something here. Haven't heard anything about if/when it is supposed to continue.
Hell, Ford may die before it's finished.

I saw some article that says Yellowstone and 1923 are both due back this fall.
I am not going to watch any new Sheridan shows until he starts delivering more on what he already has going.
This crap of 5 episodes then a 1.5year break is BS. I already don't like the short seasons that all the streaming series seem to have adopted. I miss the 23 episodes a season output of the networks.

The Apaches were much more vicious,

Hey Hou_Lawyer, my dad is also a retired Ranger. What part of the state was yours working in? Wonder if they knew one another!
Looking forward to this rendition. I enjoyed the book and read it after the author was on Rogan.
