CHIRICAHUA

by Will Henry ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 8, 1972

The Chiricahuas or Cherry Bow people were the last of the Apaches and this is the story of Chatto, leader of 26 of them, filled with hesh-ke or the rage to kill -- and of a stagecoach to be hurried through to Tucson carrying a pregnant woman (about to deliver) and some gold -- and of Chatto's victory after many hearts are buried following what was known as the Kensington massacre -- and of a drifter and a scout's attempt to reclaim a white infant from Chatto's squaw who had lost hers to a bullet. Will Henry has been in this part of the world before and after the cinema cliche Wayned, and he still tells an exciting and resolute story with authenticating detail.
