Riding With Cochise brings the violent drama of the American
Southwest to life through the eyes of the legendary Apache
chieftain Cochise and three other tribal leaders, Geronimo,
Victorio, and Mangas Coloradas. Relying largely on the oral
histories told by relatives of these great warriors as well as
personal diaries of others who were involved, veteran author Steve
Price takes the reader deep into the Cochise Stronghold, through
Massacre Canyon, and across Apache Pass. You’ll sit beside
the campfires of Tom Jeffords, the only white man Cochise ever
fully trusted, and touch the faded stone walls of Fort Craig, the
rock cairns at Dragoon Springs, and the magnificent cottonwoods at
Ojo Caliente. You’ll be with General George Crook and Lt.
Charles Gatewood as they pursue Geronimo through New Mexico,
Arizona and even into Mexico’s Sierra Madre, and learn how a
handful of Apache warriors could disappear into open desert, ride
and sleep on horseback, and outwit thousands of American and
Mexican troops for months at a time. Thoroughly researched
and written in the author’s easy but fast-paced story-telling
style, Riding With Cochise presents a sweeping history of how one
Native American tribe fought desperately to keep its land and its
culture in the face of America’s westward expansion known as
Manifest Destiny, then spent 27 years in exile and captivity before
finally being allowed to return to their beloved homeland.
