Of the many tales of conflict and warfare between the US government and the Indian tribes, perhaps none is more dramatic or revealing than the story of the Apache wars. They were the final episode in the subjugation of the indigenous peoples: the surrender of Geronimo in 1886 effectively ended the Indian wars. Featuring not only Gerinimo, but other larger-than-life characters such as Cochise and General Cook, this is an account of the battles between the Apache and the US Army for land and freedom.
