Apache Wars
A History from Beginning to End

The region known as Apacheria had been fought over for centuries, firstly with the arrival of the Apache from the north, then later with the arrival of the Spanish and, finally, the United States. Events came to a bloody climax in the 1800s in a series of conflicts which became known as the Apache Wars.This is a story spanning decades featuring some almost legendary characters whose names have been celebrated in books, movies, and TV shows ever since —including Geronimo, Cochise, Tom Jeffords, and Kit Carson. It is also the story of a boy, born Mexican, adopted by an Irish-American, and then kidnapped and raised by the Apache who would play a key role in the events of the Apache Wars.
