General Crook and the Fighting Apaches is a historical account of the Apache Wars in the late 19th century, specifically focusing on the role of General George Crook. The book, written by Edwin L. Sabin and originally published in 1918, provides a detailed and engaging narrative of the conflicts between the United States Army and various Apache tribes, including the Chiricahua, the Western Apache, and the Tonto Apache. Sabin's work is based on extensive research, including personal interviews with soldiers who fought in the campaigns and with members of the Apache tribes. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the cultural differences between the Apaches and the Americans, the strategies and tactics used by both sides, and the various battles and skirmishes that took place. One of the key themes of the book is the role of General Crook, who is portrayed as a skilled and compassionate leader who sought to understand and respect the Apaches' way of life. Sabin provides vivid descriptions of Crook's campaigns, including his efforts to negotiate peace treaties and his use of Apache scouts to track down hostile bands. Overall, General Crook and the Fighting Apaches is a well-written and informative account of a significant period in American history. It offers valuable insights into the complex relationships between the United States government, the military, and the Native American tribes of the Southwest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
