Through the winter of 1874-1875, the surrenders continued — not as a mass event but as a series of band-by-band decisions driven by the exhaustion of resistance capacity.

By spring 1875, the Red River War was effectively over.

The Comanche bands that had been most active in resisting reservation confinement — including the Quahada, who were led in part by Quanah Parker — came in to the agency at Fort Sill.

The Quahada’s surrender in June 1875 is often cited as the last significant act of organized resistance by off-reservation Comanche.

Quanah Parker himself — who had participated in the Adobe Walls attack in June 1874, who had been one of the more capable Comanche military leaders during the Red River War — came in with his band without being defeated in the field.
