Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 7^-12. Tragic betrayals and fierce determination on both sides fueled the bitter wars between the U.S. government and the Apache. After the Mexican War, the government's campaign against the Apache set in motion roughly half a century's worth of a relentless drive to control a people it feared and mistrusted. At this time Apache warriors began referring to themselves as Indeh, "the Dead." Aleshire has written a meticulously researched and detailed account of the Apache wars, profiling leaders on both sides, from Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, Victorio, and Geronimo to Generals Howard, Crook, and Miles, and numerous scouts and agents who played a powerful role in the ongoing drama. Outstanding photographs, firsthand accounts, and careful detailing to distinguish the various branches of the Apache make this account highly useful for interested and researching students. Bibliography; chapter-end source notes. Anne O'Malley

5.0 out of 5 stars
Apache Wars,
By Brad Courtney (Peoria, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reaping the Whirlwind: The Apache Wars (Library of American Indian History (Facts on File)) (Hardcover)
Aleshire's book is the perfect starter for someone at an embryonic stage of interest in the Apache Wars. It is accurate, very well-written, and a great foundation for those who want to know more about the fascinating subject of the Apache Wars. I personally used it as a source in my masters thesis. Alseshire is an exceptional writer. His newest work, "The Fox and the Whirlwind" will go down as one of the best in the category of literature on the Apache Wars.
