The Apache: A History from Beginning to Present
Discover the remarkable history of the Apache...
Free BONUS Inside!
The Apache became one of the best-known of all Native American peoples mainly because they were astonishingly capable guerilla fighters. They fought other Native American tribes, Spanish invaders, the authorities of the new state of Mexico and, from the mid-nineteenth century, increasing numbers of American settlers and soldiers. Under chiefs such as Cochise and Geronimo, they waged wars that struck fear into every new culture they encountered.
It is the image of the Apache as bold and fearless warriors that has become embedded in popular culture through countless movies, television shows, and books. Yet the truth is that the Apache were far more than fighters. Their culture and society were unique, based on a philosophical approach to the environment and the animals that inhabited it that was completely different from most European incomers. Like many other Native American peoples, the Apache suffered as the United States expanded and claimed new territory across North America. They may have been effective warriors, but they were unable to resist as growing numbers of settlers supported by the US Army were drawn into the West.
By the late nineteenth century, there were fewer than 8,000 Apache people remaining. Somehow, they survived, and their numbers rebounded; by 2020, more than 140,000 people in the United States identified themselves as Apache. This is the fascinating, complex, and sometimes tragic story of the Apache.

A different point of view
This was interesting to me because I enjoy learning more about the life of Native Americans. Although it doesn't go into great detail it is still a starting point. This is for me a.welcome addition to my library.

It gets into what has to be called "pre-history" in that it is oral. But oral traditions are very important to understand what and why people do things. The creation tradition was new to me, and I am glad ot now know it. It is also good to know the high regard women had in their tribes. It is more of a synopsis for an overview, but an excellent way to start.

Good read
Not the best of this series but interesting and informative. I had not heard their creation story or that women played such an important role in the leadership and history of the people.

This book is a good and interesting read for an afternoon. The migration from the North to the conflicts with the Comanche and battles with the US Army revealed many of the obstacles the Apache faced.

Interesting!
I thoroughly enjoyed this history. I listened because I wanted to know more about the history of one if my brother's people. I would like to make one correction. The reservation where Geronimo spent his last years was Fort Sill, not Fort Still, at Lawton, Oklahoma.
