Paul Andrew Hutton with the ultimate Western Apache war book

Runs Like Cougar
   I am deeply sorry for all of those  missing my Native american radical book reviews as I have been on a spiritual retreat talking to my ancestors in the remote wilderness of New mexico. Partridge Boy I love you. Anyway in today's book review I study one of the toughest American Indian tribes and this being the Apache in a book called " Apache Wars" by author Paul Andrew Hutton. Mr Hutton recollects the lives of famed Apache warriors and scouts in a tale looking at the history of the Apache people with both Mexican and American people. In particular Mr Hutton follows the life of Micky Free and the pivotal re he played with in the wars between Whites and Apaches in Arizona. Mr Hutton extensively covers the hunt for Geronimo and the Apache Kid by the white Eyes and how the door was closed for Apache power in the region. There are many famous leaders of the Apache tribe known through history because unlike other tribes the apache fought until they couldn't fight anymore.

The various frontiersmen who made Apache lives difficult and fought this merciless  native group s covered as well in four hundred pages of detailed action long forgotten except for an occasional movie about Tombstone, Arizona. The treachery of the "white Eyes' in capturing and killing Apache leader Mangas Coloradas set up decades of warfare on the Southwestern frontier and various containment and breakouts of Apaches from reservations wishing to be master gain in Arizona. as Mr Hutton explains the Apache wars were the longest of the native american wars as both sides fought in the most extreme elements in North America and the longevity and fame of Geronimo as the most famous Native is a result of these mostly skirmish battles between the to groups. The book covers Victorias war, Cochise's tent break out, the various flights of Geronimo, to the search and destroy mission for the last free Apache known as the kid. The numerous battles between Chiricahua Apache and Mexican and american forces are too numerous to mention and the author does a great job magnifying the important events and battles that shaped knowledge of the Apaches.
