The Autobiography of a Great Patriot Warrior

This book contains one of the most extraordinary and invaluable documents in the annals of Native American history - the authentic testament of a remarkable "war shaman" who for several years held off both Mexico and the United States in fierce defense of Apache lands.

Prostitution In The Early West
Anne Seagraves

On the Border with Crook
John G. Bourke

From 1870 until 1886 Captain G. Bourke served on the staff of General George Crook, whom Sherman described as the greatest Indian fighter the army ever had, a man whose prowess was demonstrated "from British America to Mexico, from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean." But On the Border with Crook is far more than a firsthand account of Crook's campaigns during the Plains Indian wars in the Southwest. Alert, curious, and perceptive, Bourke brings to life the whole frontier scene. In crisp descriptions and telling anecdotes he re-creates the events and landscapes through which he moved; he sketches sharp action-pictures not only of Crook and his fellow cavalrymen but also of such great leaders as Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Geronimo. Perhaps most important, Bourke shows us how General Crook was able to achieve his most remarkable victory - how this man of war won and deserved the trust of tribes he had subjugated.

The Truth About Geronimo
Britton Davis
Foreword by Robert M. Utley

"A valuable contribution to our knowledge of the Apaches, the book throws light upon many incidents in the career of Geronimo which have hitherto been obscure." - American Historical Review" Much more interesting than any fiction ever written about Indians... a book that no one who is making a study of American Indians can afford to miss." - Saturday Review

Britton Davis's account of the controversial "Geronimo Campaign" of 1885-86 offers an important firsthand picture of the famous Chiricahua warrior and the men who finally forced his surrender. Davis knew most of the people involved in the campaign and was himself in charge of Indian scouts, some of whom helped hunt down the small band of fugitives. Robert M. Utley's foreword reevaluates the account for the modern reader and establishes its historical background.
