Apacheria ran from the Colorado to the Rio Grande and beyond,
from the great canyons of the North for a thousand miles into
Mexico. Here, where the elusive, phantomlike Apache bands roamed,
life was as harsh, cruel, and pitiless as the country itself. The
conquest of Apacheria is an epic of heroism, mixed with chicanery,
misunderstanding, and tragedy, on both sides.
The author's account of this important segment of Western
American history includes the Walapais War, an eyewitness report on
the death of the gallant lieutenant Howard B. Cushing, the famous
Camp Grant Massacre, General Crook's offensive in Apacheria and his
difficulties with General Miles, and the formidable Apache leaders,
including Cochise, Delshay, Big Rump, Chunz, Chan-deisi, Victorio,
and Geronimo.
