A good short action-packed Western story by Clay Fisher, published in 1961. It's the story of "Kid" or "Nino." He was considered the best of the trackers of the Apache Scouts under the command of Al Sieber. After violating the white man's law, Kid became a fugitive and the target of a massive manhunt in both Arizona and northern Mexico. This is after Geronimo's surrender, so the Apache Kid is considered to be the last warrior. I had read about the Apache Kid before and it's a mystery as to what happened to him. This book gives an answer.

He was a dark-faced San Carlos youth. His father called him Red Wolf, and his few friends called him Nino. His many enemies called him a mad dog and a murderer. He had been the finest trailer in the enlisted Apache Scouts, and now he was the most feared and hunted fugitive in the Arizona Territory. He was the last warrior, and his lonely and savage duel with the United States Calvary created a legend as bold as that of Cochise and Geronimo. In both folklore and lies, he was called The Apache Kid.
