THE CHART above shows my direct line of descent from Bad Eagle. Of course, there’s a lot more to my family tree than this. But my heritage from Bad Eagle seems a good place to start.
Through the Bad Eagle History Project, we are compiling a complete genealogy of Bad Eagle and his family, drawing on every available source, including historical documents and Comanche oral tradition. We plan to publish this genealogy soon.
We have already made some exciting discoveries. Watch this page for further developments.
