Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain John G. Bourke was one of the preeminent scholars of Native-American life in the 19th century. He was a soldier, a Medal of Honor recipient, an ethnographer, aide to General George Crook, and a friend of Indians. Like Crook, Bourke was outspoken and felt the "system" set up to deal with native peoples was not much of a system at all.Yet like most of his contemporaries in the military, he was an instrument of the policy he felt was broken. In this lively and fascinating account of the pursuit of Geronimo and others in 1883, Bourke drew on his diary of the campaign.Bourke has long been cited as a source on Native-American studies and none other than Sigmund Freud wrote the preface for the 1913 edition of Bourke's "Scatalogic Rites of All Nations."A prolific writer, Bourke died a young man but left an astonishing legacy of scholarship.Every memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the movement that changed the country forever.

Book From Fort Marion to Fort Sill

Download or read book From Fort Marion to Fort Sill written by Alicia Delgadillo and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1886 to 1913, hundreds of Chiricahua Apache men, women, and children lived and died as prisoners of war in Florida, Alabama, and Oklahoma. Their names, faces, and lives have long been forgotten by history, and for nearly one hundred years these individuals have been nothing more than statistics in the history of the United States’ tumultuous war against the Chiricahua Apache. Based on extensive archival research, From Fort Marion to Fort Sill offers long-overdue documentation of the lives and fate of many of these people. This outstanding reference work provides individual biographies for hundreds of the Chiricahua Apache prisoners of war, including those originally classified as POWs in 1886, infants who lived only a few days, children removed from families and sent to Indian boarding schools, and second-generation POWs who lived well into the twenty-first century. Their biographies are often poignant and revealing, and more than 60 previously unpublished photographs give a further glimpse of their humanity. This masterful documentary work, based on the unpublished research notes of former Fort Sill historian Gillett Griswold, at last brings to light the lives and experiences of hundreds of Chiricahua Apaches whose story has gone untold for too long.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Apache Campaign in the Sierra Madre: An Account of the Expedition in Pursuit of the Hostile Chiricahua Apaches in the Spring of 1883 There is this difference to be noted, however of the one hundred and twenty-five (125) fight ing men brought back from the Sierra Madre, less than one-third have engaged in the present hostilities, from which fact an additional infer ence may be drawn both of the difficulties to be overcome in the repression of these distur bances and of the horrors which would surely have accumulated upon the heads of our citi zens had the whole fighting force of this fierce band taken to the mountains.

Book General George Crook

Download or read book General George Crook written by Gen. George Crook and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General George Crook spent his entire military career, with the exception of the Civil War years, on the frontier. Fighting the Indians, he earned the distinction of being the lowest-ranking West Point cadet ever to rise to the rank of major-general. Crook’s autobiography covers the period from his graduation from West Point in 1852 to June 18, 1876, the day after the famous Battle of the Rosebud. Editor Martin F. Schmitt has supplemented Crook’s life story with other material from the general’s diaries and letters and from contemporary newspapers. “When Red Cloud, the Sioux chief, heard of the death of his old antagonist, the Army officer they called Three Stars, he told a missionary, ‘He, at least, never lied to us.’ General Sherman called Crook the greatest Indian fighter and manager the Army ever had. Yet this man who was the most effective campaigner against the Indians had won their respect and trust. To understand why, you ought to read General George Crook: His Autobiography, edited and annotated by Martin F. Schmitt.”—Los Angeles Times “A story straightforward, accurate, and interesting, packed with detail and saturated with a strong western flavor....The importance of this book lies not merely in its considerable contribution to our knowledge of military history and to the intimate and sometimes trenchant remarks made by Crook about his colleagues, but more particularly in the revelation of the character and aims of the general himself.”—Chicago Tribune

Book The Apache Wars

    Book Details:
  • Author : Paul Andrew Hutton
  • Publisher : Crown
  • Release : 2016-05-03
  • ISBN : 0770435823
  • Pages : 546 pages

Download or read book The Apache Wars written by Paul Andrew Hutton and published by Crown. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Empire of the Summer Moon, a stunningly vivid historical account of the manhunt for Geronimo and the 25-year Apache struggle for their homeland. They called him Mickey Free. His kidnapping started the longest war in American history, and both sides--the Apaches and the white invaders—blamed him for it. A mixed-blood warrior who moved uneasily between the worlds of the Apaches and the American soldiers, he was never trusted by either but desperately needed by both. He was the only man Geronimo ever feared. He played a pivotal role in this long war for the desert Southwest from its beginning in 1861 until its end in 1890 with his pursuit of the renegade scout, Apache Kid. In this sprawling, monumental work, Paul Hutton unfolds over two decades of the last war for the West through the eyes of the men and women who lived it. This is Mickey Free's story, but also the story of his contemporaries: the great Apache leaders Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, and Victorio; the soldiers Kit Carson, O. O. Howard, George Crook, and Nelson Miles; the scouts and frontiersmen Al Sieber, Tom Horn, Tom Jeffords, and Texas John Slaughter; the great White Mountain scout Alchesay and the Apache female warrior Lozen; the fierce Apache warrior Geronimo; and the Apache Kid. These lives shaped the violent history of the deserts and mountains of the Southwestern borderlands--a bleak and unforgiving world where a people would make a final, bloody stand against an American war machine bent on their destruction.

Excerpt: ... camping-place, at the junction of two wellwatered canons, near which grew pine, oak, and cedar in plenty, and an abundance of rich, juicy grasses. The Apache scouts sent up a second smoke signal, promptly responded to from a neighboring butte. A couple of minutes after two squaws were seen threading their way down through the timber and rocks and yelling with full voice. They were the sisters of T6-klani (Plenty Water), one of the scouts. They said that they had lost heavily in the fight, and that while endeavoring to escape over the rocks and ravines and through the timber the fire of the scouts had played havoc among them. They fully confirmed all that the captives had said about Charlie McComas. Two hours had scarcely passed when six other women had come in, approaching the pickets two and two, and waving white rags. One of these, the sister of "Chihuahua "--a prominent man among the Chiricahuas--said that her brother wanted to come in, and was trying to gather up his band, which had scattered like sheep after the fight; he might be looked for in our camp at any moment. On the 18th (May, 1883), before 8.30 A. M., six new arrivals were reported--four squaws, one buck and a boy. Close upon their heels followed sixteen others--men, women, and young children. In this band was "Chihuahua" himself, a fine-looking man, whose countenance betokened great decision and courage. This chief expressed to General Crook his earnest desire for peace, and acknowledged that all the Chiricahuas could hope to do in the future would be to prolong the contest a few weeks and defer their destruction. He was tired of fighting. His village had been destroyed and all his property was in our hands. He wished to surrender his band just as soon as he could gather...
