Many readers may be familiar with the Apache wars; this book relates the untold story of the Apaches' postwar fate. It tells of the Chiricahua Apaches' 27 years of imprisonment as recorded in American dispatches, reports, and news items. Unabashedly speaking on behalf of the Apaches, Stockel has framed these documents within a readable narrative to record events that ought never to be repeated--"and tells a story that should never be forgotten.
