Foreword by Karl Jacoby. An intensely personal portrait of an Apache chief and his people. Drawn from personal recollections, historical records, and biographical research, this book relates the little-known life and career of a leader of the Aravaipa band of Apaches. During his nearly 100 years of life, Chief Chiquito spent time in prison with Geronimo; defended his home territory in Aravaipa Canyon from the depredations of Anglo-Americans, Mexicans, and rival Native American tribes; suffered the brutal massacre and abduction of many of his people; and ultimately won from the federal government the right to live on and cultivate his canyon homestead. As new, unread copy in dust jacket.
