Description

Seminal works on the tribes of the South West by one of its earliest authorities
The creator of this book is a well known and highly regarded creator on the history of the American south-west all the way through the 19th century. His works—On the Border with Crook and An Apache Campaign in the Sierra Madre (both published by Leonaur)—concerning the wars fought by the US Army against the Apache Indian tribes, and based on his experiences at the same time as a serving cavalry officer on General Crook’s group of workers, are rightly regarded as classics of the subject. Those who know anything about the creator know that Bourke not only fought the Apache and served with Apache scouts but also developed an abiding affection for them as a people and an interest in the culture and customs of the indigenous Indian tribes of the region in general. This resulted in the writing of several small works of ethnography that have been gathered together in this special Leonaur edition—possibly for the first time.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and don’t seem to be facsimiles; each and every title is to be had in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
