Who was Carne Muerto?

Carne Muerto was a Native American War Chief of the Quahadi band of the Comanche Indians.

He rose to fame first as a son of Santa Anna, and used that status to survive capture by John "Rip" Ford and his Texas Rangers. In 1850 he escaped Army custody, then became known as a ferocious war chief late in the 1850s for his relentless raiding of white settlements.
