This is a series of dispatches from a Los Angeles Times reporter, the only genuine reporter actually on the scene during the Apache uprisings of the late 19th century. It's pretty subjective – Lummis lionizes Gen. George Crook, who was being unfairly maligned in the national press at the time – but its is frank, fair-minded and fun to read. Anyone interested in the Old West would find this an entertaining, informative and entertaining read.

Following the Civil War and then the fiasco on the Rosebud and the Little Bighorn against the Sioux, General Crook took military command of the American Southwest in the war against Geronimo and the Apache. This is a good though brief account of the Apache wars in the 1880s.
