Only 12 native american bodies found[edit]

I think this is to imply the possibility that Plum Creek in reality was no victory for the Texans. But the Plum Creek battle stretched over at least 15 miles. Alas, it is hard to imagine that the victorious part took the pains of thoroughly searching many square miles for bodies. So the low number does not actually mean much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1206:4511:25A0:FDCB:EFC5:79F0:C666 (talk) 12:53, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neither does the high estimate of 87 Comanche killed. Combatants routinely overestimate the number of their foes killed. Even when a body count supposedly underpins the estimate. I would suspect 12 Comanche deaths is a lot closer to truth than is 87. Contrary to Western movies and folklore, Indian warriors were adept at not being killed.
