<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A fictionalized biography of Cochise who, aided by his friend and interpreter Tom Jeffords, works hard to negotiate a peace treaty between white men and his people, the Chiricahua Apaches.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This is the true story, told in fictional form, of one of the greatest of all American Indian chiefs, Cochise of the Chiricahua Apaches. Indians were once thought of as warlike, and the encroaching white men as wanting peace, but it was the white men who forced Cochise into war against his will. History tells us that Cochise and his tiny band of warriors not only held the United States Army at bay for more than ten years, but they were often on the offensive. It is a heroic and extraordinary story. The story ends with the equally extraordinary way in which peace was made, when Major General Howard, the bible-reading soldier, and Cochise, the religious-minded warrior, found that they could trust each other. The many illustrations are by L. F. Bjorklund, well-known for the accuracy of his interpretation of Indian scenes.</p>
