""Britton Davis's account of the controversial "Geronimo Campaign" of 1885-86 offers an important firsthand picture of the famous Chiricahua warrior and the men who finally forced his surrender. Davis knew most of the people involved in the campaign and was himself in charge of Indian scouts, some of whom helped hunt down the small band of fugitives Robert M. Utley's foreword reevaluates the account for the modern reader and establishes its his torical background.

"Although Geronimo is the main character in this book, the reader
also is given a valuable insight into the lives of the Apache
nation as a whole. The descriptive writing style allows the reader
to project himself into each event and feel as if 'he were
there.'"—Military Review
"A valuable contribution to our knowledge of the Apaches, [the
book] throws light upon many incidents in the career of Geronimo
which have hitherto been obscure."—American Historical Review
"Much more interesting than any fiction ever written about Indians
. . . a book that no one who is making a study of American Indians
can afford to miss."—Saturday Review
