Did Quanah Parker get his kicks on Route 66?


No, of course not, the famed Comanche leader died 15 years before Route 66 was opened. However, Quanah travelled a similar route during his days on the Comancheria. According to this Quanah Parker Trail marker in Vega, Texas, Comanches travelled between Vega and Tucumcari on a fairly regular basis. It wasn't always motels and gas stations.
