The escape, in 1876, of 38 Apaches to a mountain paradise in Northern Mexico...Nino, the Chief at 15, fiercely fighting off Los Goddammies...his slashing revenge for a sweetheart's betrayal...the heartbreaking tragedy of his young wife's violent death in battle...his uncle Geronimo ("not the world's smartest man").......Tom Jeffords, the best Indian Agent of them all...the tribe's wise and wily old shaman Dee-O-Det, who thrived on whiskey and lived to the age of 110...Teddy Roosevelt, Pancho Villa, Porfirio Diaz...Apache customs of courtship and marriage, or war and religion, of victory and death. No other book reveals the heart and mind of the Apache with such humor and irony.
