Summary:
They called him Mickey Free. His kidnapping
started
the
longest
war
in
American
history
, and both sides - the Apaches and the white invaders - blamed him for it. A mixed-blood warrior
who
moved uneasily between the worlds of the Apaches and the
American
soldiers, he was never trusted by either but desperately needed by both. He was the only man
Geronimo
ever feared. He played a pivotal role in this long
war
for the desert Southwest from its beginning in 1861 until its end in 1890 with his pursuit of the renegade scout,
Apache
Kid
. The author unfolds over two decades of the last
war
for the West through the eyes of the men and women
who
lived it. This is Mickey Free's story, but also the story of his contemporaries: the great
Apache
leaders Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, and Victorio; the soldiers Kit Carson, O. O. Howard, George Crook, and Nelson Miles; the scouts and frontiersmen Al Sieber, Tom Horn, Tom Jeffords, and Texas John Slaughter; the great White Mountain scout Alchesay and the
Apache
female warrior Lozen; the fierce
Apache
warrior
Geronimo
; and the
Apache
Kid
. These lives shaped the violent
history
of the deserts and mountains of the Southwestern borderlands - a bleak and unforgiving world where a people would make a final, bloody stand against an
American
war
machine bent on their destruction. Paul Andrew Hutton is a professor of
history
at the University of New Mexico.
