"Chief Victorio of the Warm Springs Apache has recounted the turbulent life of his people between 1876 and 1886. This eyewitness account . . . recalls not only the hunger, pursuit, and strife of those years, but also the thoughts, feelings, and culture of the hunted tribe. Recommended as general reading."-Library Journal"This volume contains a great deal of interesting information."-Journal of the West"The Apache point of view [is] presented with great clarity."-Books of the Southwest"A valuable addition to the southwestern frontier shelf and long will be drawn upon and used."-Journal of Arizona History"A genuine contribution to the story of the Apache wars, and a very readable book as well."-Westerners Brand Book"Shining through every page is the unquenchable spirit that was the Apache. Inured, indeed trained, to suffering, Apaches stood strong beside Victorio, Nana, and finally Geronimo in a vain attempt to maintain those things they held more dear than life itself-freedom, homeland, dignity as human beings. A warm and vital people, the Apaches had, and have, a great deal to offer."-Arizona and the West
