About this title

Synopsis

Recounts the days of the Indian wars, when Anglo settlements spread into the land of the Apaches, and the U.S. cavalry repeatedly tried to subdue the great warriors led by Cochise and, later, Geronimo.

Review

"A distinguished, responsible, and, almost inevitably, exciting retelling of a sordid tale" (New Yorker)

"Roberts has fashioned a clear and engaging narrative of Apache survival... Well-researched, well-written... Compelling reading" (Paula Mitchell Marks Washington Post Book World)

"Roberts has achieved near perfect focus upon a people and their times... [A] brilliant, poignant history" (Jeff Long Chicago Tribune)
