Conquest of Apacheria

Description

Apacheria ran from the Colorado to the Rio Grande and beyond| from the great canyons of the North for a thousand miles into Mexico.
Here| where the elusive| phantomlike Apache bands roamed| life was as harsh| cruel| and pitiless as the country itself.
The conquest of Apacheria is an epic of heroism| mixed with chicanery| misunderstanding| and tragedy| on both sides.
The author’s account of this important segment of Western American history includes the Walapais War| an eyewitness report on the death of the gallant lieutenant Howard B.
Cushing| the famous Camp Grant Massacre| General Crook’s offensive in Apacheria and his difficulties with General Miles| and the formidable Apache leaders| including Cochise| Delshay| Big Rump| Chunz| Chan-deisi| Victorio| and Geronimo.
