APACHE WARRIOR

by David C. Cooke ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 22, 1963

Mr. Cooke wisely chose a strong figure as the focus for his somewhat fictionalized history of the Apaches' struggles with the Mexicans and Americans. Mangus Colorado was not only chief of the Apaches in Southwestern United States; he was the force which held the tribe together. He believed more firmly in the power of words than in the results of arrows and war. But, when faced with treachery from the Mexicans and then the Americans, Mangus realized he had no choice but to fight for his people. The Mexicans began to live in constant fear of the ruthless Apaches who seemed to be ruled by a ceaseless thirst for blood. Taking an impartial stand, an experienced author who has written several books about the Apaches and the Southwest, has presented a sharp, lucidly written story which is bound together by a deep character study of a complex man.
