Aided by a cannibalistic tribe, the European Rangers attacked the Comanches.  In this extraordinary moment in history, their fearless leader displayed his power in a way many men can’t. His tribe was accustomed to fearlessly overwhelming other tribes, but the Rangers outnumbered them.  Fighting on horseback, the tribe began to fall and their Chief rode out of the center of the battle.  Iron Jacket took deep breaths to harness his power and strength before he rode toward the open fire of the attackers.  For a moment, he kept coming and the bullets seemed to not phase him but eventually he was overrun with lead and the tribe was defeated.
