Publication: University of Oklahoma Press, 1991, Norman

First edition. 8vo. Maroon cloth, titles stamped in white on the spine, xxiii [blank], 501 pp., acknowledgments, introduction, illustrated, portraits, map, notes, bibliography, index. Much of what we know about Cochise has come down in the form of military reports, eyewitness accounts, letters, and numerous interviews the usually reticent chief granted in the last decade of his life. This book brings together the most revealing of these documents to provide the most nuanced, multifaceted portrait possible of the Apache leader. In particular, the interviews, many printed here for the first time, are the closest we will ever get to autobiographical material on this notable man, his life, and his times. Small stamp of previous owner's name in upper corner of front endpaper, behind dust jacket flap, else as New in dust jacket. The definitive biography of Cochise.
