In the spring of 1883 Apache raiders massacred Judge McComas and
his wife and kidnapped their six-year-old son, Charley, as the
family traveled on a desolate road in southwestern New Mexico
Territory, all victims of revenge sought by the Apaches for Gen.
George Crook's campaign. At the time, the entire circumstances
concerning this tragic incident had not been fully understood--or
perhaps cared about. In Massacre on the Lordsburg Road, historian
Marc Simmons brings to light one of the last massacres of the
Indian wars, presenting exactly why and how the McComases met their
end on that desolate road, the events that led up to it, and the
public reactions that followed. The puzzlement of why a reputably
wise and able man would lead his family into such a fatal
predicament, the pursuit of the Apaches into Mexico by General
Crook, and the ironic circumstances of Charley McComas's death at
the hands of Crook's troops in a raid on the Apache camp,
illustrates that past events were as complex and as human as those
today.
