First-hand experience of a white commander of Apache scouts in the last Apache war.
Louis Kraft, an independent scholar, is the author of Gatewood & Geronimo and Custer and the Cheyenne: George Armstrong Custer’s Winter Campaign on the Southern Plains.
“The memoir is a fascinating read. To fill in missing details,
Kraft has provided excellent commentary and footnotes. Readers will
find invaluable Lt. Gatewood’s accounts of his service as chief of
Apache scouts, commander of the White Mountain Apache Reservation,
and later aide-de-camp to General Nelson Miles. . . . A welcome
addition to the literature of the frontier army and Apache
relations. . . . The book should provide students of military
history and Native American studies a valuable primary source and
fascinating chronicle of Apache life in the early reservation
era.”—Mark Edwin Miller, Western Historical Quarterly
"A treasture trove of information on the Apache Wars."—New Mexico

studies shelves."—James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review
