Review

"Like most frontiersmen of the mid-nineteenth century, John C. Cremony looked on Indians as unredeemable savages. But he knew Apaches first hand and was a keen and highly literate observer. For all its ethnocentrism, his narrative remains unsurpassed for accuracy and vivid detail among contemporary views of the Apaches. In the literature of the American West Life among the Apaches endures as a classic."--Robert M. Utley--Robert M. Utley

From the Back Cover

Although this effort's original purpose was to induce more effective military suppression of the Apaches, it has all of the fast-paced action and excitement of a novel and the authenticity of an ethnographic and historical document.
