Description: A portrait of the Apache chief Victorio- a feared contemporary of Geronimo and Cochise. Victorio's role in the Apache Wars is discussed in some detail, as is his contribution to his people as a pragmatic leader and a profoundly spiritual man. He was involved in post-Civil War Indian policy and the disconnect between the United States government's vision for Indians and their own physical, psychological, and spiritual needs.
