Another subplot that I wanted to used was the historical personage of Quanah Parker. His role in the period of allotment and pasture money was paramount. His personal story is fascinating. It was perfect to have him interact with Nukitsi and Pale Feather.
Quanah was the son of a woman, Cynthia Ann Parker, and Peta Nocona, a chief of the Quohadie band of Comanche. Cynthia Ann had been captured as a nine-year old girl who lived on a Texas homestead. She grew up among the Comanches and adopted their life style completely. She had two sons and a daughter with Peta Nocona.
When Quanah was a teenager and his brother a young boy, Cynthia Ann and her daughter, Topsanna, were re-captured. Cynthia Ann, altough restored to her family, never adjusted to her new life. She and Topsanna both died within five years of her re-capture.

Louette – is this the proper place for me to start commenting on prose or are you looking for general feedback at this point?

I recommend that you instead say: “The historical personage of Quanah Parker is a subplot that I want to use. His role in the period of allotment and pasture money was paramount. He personal story is fascinating. It is perfect to have him act with…”
This makes things more immediate, rather than an after-thought. And it grasps me as a reader immediately.
