"Dr. Thomas W. Kavanagh has once again made a valuable contribution to Comanche scholarship with the publication of Comanche Ethnography."-R. Michael Barnett, Southwestern Historical Quarterly -- R. Michael Barnett Southwestern Historical Quarterly "Thomas Kavanagh deserves commendation for making these notes available to others in such a well-organized, contextualized, and useful format."-William C. Meadows, Great Plains Research -- William C. Meadows Great Plains Research "Aside from the scholarly service this work provides, Kavanagh's rigorous compiling and editing show what can be done with archival sources, which is an encouraging thought."-Mariah F. Wade, New Mexico Historical Review -- Mariah F. Wade New Mexico Historical Review "Thomas Kavanagh has accomplished a significant achievement in presenting an important set of ethnographic field notes in a compelling and easily accessed manner... [Comanche Ethnography] is a seminal ethnographic resource that will be appreciated by members of the Comanche Nation, anthropologists, historians, and academic and popular students of Native American studies."-Daniel C. Swan, Journal of Anthropological Research -- Daniel C. Swan Journal of Anthropological Research "Comanche ethnography is undoubtedly a significant contribution to the study of the Comanche. The presentation of these resources is useful not only for the data found in the field notes themselves, but also in considering how ethnographic research is conducted and used in the construction of ethnographic texts."-Abby Wightman, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute -- Abby Wightman Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute "Comanche Ethnography is a praiseworthy piece of scholarship that will doubtless become a mandatory reference on the pre-reservation Comanches."-Joaquin Rivaya-Martinez, Ethnohistory -- Joaquin Rivaya-Martinez Ethnohistory
