First published: August 3, 2001
Description: "Master strategist, spellbinding orator, religious, political, and moral leader. This was Cochise, the most revered warrior of the embattled Apaches, and one of the pivotal figures in the history of the American West. A powerful and sophisticated leader after years of fighting, Cochise was the only Native American leader to win a war against the white Americans after they wrested the southwest from Mexico in 1848.

In this biography, author and historian Peter Aleshire provides the first Apache view of a crucial period in American history - and offers an intimate glimpse of the intriguing man behind the legendary warrior."--BOOK JACKET.
