Fragile - tenuous: Whatever they were in the mountains, they could be no more. However tenuous their well-being, however much they had suffered and would suffer again, they had found a way out of the wilderness.
Tenuous means fragile or delicate. After the people found their way out of the wilderness, they were most likely fragile from a lack of proper care and nutrition.
Lobby - beg and barter: In order to consummate the ancient sacrifice—to impale the head of a buffalo bull upon the medicine tree—a delegation of old men journeyed into Texas, there to beg and barter for an animal from the Goodnight herd.

Pensive - brooding: My grandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years, but she must have known from birth the affliction of defeat, the dark brooding of old warriors.
Pensive means to be deep in thought. Brooding also means to be deep in thought but usually over something that has a negative outcome. The person brooding usually wishes to change what has happened.
Antagonist - Enmities: Some of them painted their faces and carried the scars of old and cherished enmities.
Enmities is another word for something that is hated, just like an enemy. An antagonist goes against a person or thing and is often hated or strongly disliked so this would be the best choice.
