Navajoe, Oklahoma : ウィキペディア英語版 | Navajoe, Oklahoma Navajoe is a ghost town in Jackson County, Oklahoma, United States, located eight miles east and four miles north of Altus at the base of the Navajo Mountains. ==Name== According to local lore, the town took its name from the nearby Navajo Mountains, where, in the mid-1800s, Comanches annihilated a band of Navajos who were on a raid to steal Comanche horses.〔Old Navajoe, ''Chronicles of Oklahoma,'' Volume 24, No.2,E. E. Dale (1946)〕 In those times, the Comanches and their close allies, the Kiowas, were constantly in conflict with the Navajos, and such long distance raids across the Texas Panhandle by the warring tribes were not uncommon. Quanah Parker, the renowned Comanche chief, gave a detailed account of an essentially identical failed Navajo raid, in 1848 or 1849, against his village on Elk Creek, just north of the mountains.〔''Frontier Blood: The Saga of the Parker Family,'' Jo Ella Powell Exley (2008)〕〔''Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History,'' S. G. Gwynne (2010)〕 Given that such raid on Quanah's village occurred at the same time and in the same place with the same results, it was quite likely the raid that gave the mountains their name.〔Navajo(e): A Raid, A Battle and A Postscript, ''Prairie Lore,'' Volume 48, No. 1, Don Butler (2011)〕
