The life story of an Apache Indian who settled in the Colorado
desert and lost touch with the world about him. His hatred for the
whites results in his trying to keep his son from white man ways,
and in his going mad when the boy marries a Mexican. There are a
few sordid spots - watch out for your conservatives - but it is an
interesting by-path in the Indian situation. More of a man's book
than a woman's. Possibly the LaFarge audience. (Kirkus Reviews)
Leaving the despised reservation after the defeat of Geronimo, Fig
Tree John settles with his small family on a desolate shore of the
Salton Sea. But he is helpless against the encroaching white
civilization. When his wife is killed by two outlaws, he grows old
in sullen vindictiveness, waiting to wreak justice upon the whites.
But his only son is intrigued by white civilization and marries a
white woman. This violent and incestuous story of an embittered
man's desperate struggle to instill true Apache ideals in his son
provides one of the most profound psychological descriptions of the
Indian ever written.
