About This Book

A military narrative recounts the campaigns and peace efforts of a seasoned frontier commander who used pack-trains, Indian scouts, and a mixture of firmness and sympathy to confront Apache resistance. Episodes follow patrols, negotiations, raids, and pitched fights against leaders such as Geronimo and Cochise, and trace the education of a young soldier, Jimmie Dunn, as he learns native ways and serves as pack-master and scout. The account alternates action-filled troop movements with attempts at treaty-making and the difficulties of maintaining order on the Southwestern frontier.
