This review is from: A Clash of Cultures: Fort Bowie and the Chiricahua Apaches (Paperback)
In just 92 pages (six less, if you count the introduction pages) Robert M. Utley's A CLASH OF CULTURES offers up one of the best descriptive accounts of Arizona's Fort Bowie,Apache Pass and some of the Apaches' finest war chiefs and historical figures than any book of its size or scope! The photos alone add remarkable insight to the people and times. It is a gem, a small historical and visual treasure for anyone interested in a great introduction to an important and often overlooked part of American history.Walking Apache Pass and the Fort Bowie area I used this book as a visual guide and thanks to Utley saw more than just the remnants of a lost time. Who knows, maybe that's the power of the written word?
