Eyewitnesses to the Indian Wars, 1865-1890: The Struggle for Apacheria

This volume explores the history of the Apache Wars of the late 19th century Southwest through diaries, army reports, and other primary sources.

Stretching from the Colorado River to the mountains east of the Rio Grande, and from northern Arizona into Sonora, Mexico, is the sprawling region once known as Apacheria. By the time the first Americans ventured into the region, the indigenous peoples known as the Apache had already been clashing with Spanish and Mexican interlopers for some time.
