"This is an account of how Apacheria--an immensely important segment of the United States--was wrested from Indian hands. Apacheria ran from the Colorado River to the Rio Grande and beyond, from the great canyons of the North for a thousand miles into Mexico. It is the story of the relentless effort to defeat and contain the Apache. It is an epic story of heroism, mixed with chicanery, misunderstanding, and tragedy, on both sides." American Indian Wars and Conflicts; Native American History; Apache Indian History; Arizona History (Inv # 1451-4)
