Great "Eyewitness" accounts

Like the other books in this series, "The Struggle for Appacheria" is a well chosen collection of contemporary accounts, drawn from a very wide variety of sources, and often giving several different perspectives on the same events. These accounts are full of fascinating detail, and reveal societal attitudes in ways today's histories simply cannot match. Much of this primary material is otherwise awfully hard to find, and for anyone with more than a passing interest in the Indian wars of the Southwest it all constitutes an irresistably good read.

Review

Price was appropriate, delivery was a day earlier than promised, product quality was as advertised. What more can you ask for?

A Landmark in the Literature of the American West

This marvelous book can safely be said to be the last word on the Apache Wars. The breadth and scope of the original accounts presented here - most drawn from obscure 19th Century sources - is remarkable. There are newspaper interviews with General George Crook, an account of the Chiricahua Apaches in captivity by Walter Reed (for whom Walter Reed Hospital is named), a visit with Cochise in his mountain stronghold by the teritorial governor of Arizona, and many, many more "you are there" accounts. Cozzens opens the work with an excellent historical overview of the Apache Wars. Indispensable to the Indian Wars affecionado!
