They call themselves The People, but to nearly everyone else in their world they were known as The Enemy. They earned the name in every respect, since few others fought harder to preserve their territory and way of life. This ancient people, whom we know today as apache, made a prolonged, desperate, and ultimately unsuccessful effort to drive the Spanish, the Mexicans, and finally the Anglo-Americans out of their ancestral lands.
Brilliantly realized, a great reference book, as are all of Thomas E. Mails' books. The illustrations are vivid and beautiful (as always), the information extremely useful. This is a great introduction to Apache culture.
