(3) YA Library of American Indian History series. Following an informative note on the difficulties of recounting a history documented by few, and often one-sided, primary sources, Aleshire presents a lucid, detailed account of the violent conflicts between the Apaches and the Europeans determined to settle on their lands. Extensive quotations from original sources on both sides add immediacy. The archival photos included are interesting, if not always well reproduced. Bib., ind.
