i just don't understand why they wore blankets to cover up what they were wearing. i have noticed in a bunch of old pics they did that. was it cold?

You gotta remember that blankets and shawls were like coats and jackets back then.

The whole quote is:

Hi @Historian,

Thank you for sharing these photos. If you haven’t gone out & looked already, I thought you might be interested in searching:

The Yale Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library which I found has 135 items (lots of old photos along with newer ones) regarding Comanches at:
Search Home

and

The Peabody Museum at Harvard which I found has 86 objects relating to Comanches at:
http://pmem.unix.fas.harvard.edu:8080/peabody/

btw…for anyone who is interested, I’ve started a NAGPRA social group here on pw.com where I’m listing info related to repatriation.
