Every once in awhile it is nice to find a book that has no reviews or ratings on GoodReads, and fill in the void. Such was the case with this little book from the 1800s. The author - Eugene Louis Gabriel Ferry de Bellemare ... or Gabriel Ferry for short - was a French explorer/writer who came to North America in the middle 1800s. He spent 10 years traveling through Mexico and wrote a number of short books on his adventures - thus "An Adventure with the Apaches." Undoubtedly a work of fiction based loosely on his experiences, this little book was a delight to read. This tale would be classified as Young Adult fare ... teens and up.
The tale involves three men - a Canadian and two Mexicans - getting themselves into a fix with a band of Apaches. The whole story is how they got into trouble and tried to extricate themselves from same. Being written by a white man in the 1800s the language certainly carries racial overtones, but the storyline is not ruined by the slips. Weighing in at only 150 very small pages, this is a two-hour read.
The author was born in 1809 and died in 1852. This book was published in 1900 as a first printing, so it is probably the first printing of the translation ... presuming Gabriel Ferry wrote in his native French language. All-in-all, nice little change of pace.
