Cochise of Arizona

The narrative presents the life of Cochise, a prominent chief of the Chiricahua Apaches, who was reluctantly drawn into conflict with encroaching white settlers. Contrary to the stereotype of warlike Indians, it reveals how Cochise and his small group of warriors effectively resisted the U.S. Army for over a decade. The story culminates in a remarkable peace agreement between Cochise and Major General Howard, highlighting themes of trust and understanding. Accompanied by illustrations from L. F. Bjorklund, the book offers an authentic portrayal of this historical figure and his struggles.
