In 1861, war between the United States and the Chiricahua seemed
inevitable. The Apache band lived on a heavily traveled Emigrant
and Overland Mail Trail and routinely raided it, organized by their
leader, the prudent, not friendly Cochise. When a young boy was
kidnapped from his stepfather's ranch, Lieutenant George Bascom
confronted Cochise even though there was no proof that the
Chiricahua were responsible. After a series of missteps, Cochise
exacted a short-lived revenge. Despite modern accounts based on
spurious evidence, Bascom's performance in a difficult situation
was admirable. This book examines the legend and provides a new
analysis of Bascom's and Cochise's behavior, putting it in the
larger context of the Indian Wars that followed the American Civil
War.
