"Imagine an America very similar to our own. It's got homework, best friends, and pistachio ice cream. There are some differences. This America has been shaped dramatically by the magic, monsters, knowledge, and legends of its peoples, those Indigenous and those not. Some of these forces are charmingly everyday, like the ability to make an orb of light appear or travel across the world through rings of fungi. But other forces are less charming and...

The old Apache renegade Soldado Viejo is hiding out in Mexico, and the Arizona Department Adjutant has selected two men to hunt him down.

Amanda responded to his strength and self-reliance, but had nothing and nobody to guide her when she followed him to the grim town of Lodestone. . .

The Apache were cunning guerilla fighters and among the toughest of the Indian warriors. This saga by Western artist and historian Lisle Reedstrom includes the religious traditions of the Apaches, their costumes and customs, weapons used by both the Apaches and the US Cavalry who pursued and finally defeated them. A special feature of the book is the illustrations, from the 16 pages of colour paintings by the author, to dozens of close-up photographs...

"The only individual standing between the white settlers and fierce Chiricahua Apache warriors led by Geronimo and Chatto is Pa-nayo-tishn (The Coyote Saw Him), a man of peace who forever alters the fate of the Apache."

Oral histories by Apache elders who survived army campaigns against them, later identified as the sons and daughters of Geronimo, Cochise, Victorio, and their warriors, form a history and profile of the Apaches.
