Description
Book SynopsisJlin-tay-i-tith, better known as Loco, was the only Apache leader to make a lasting peace with both Americans and Mexicans. Yet most historians have ignored his efforts. In this engaging biography, Bud Shapard tells the story of this important but overlooked chief against the backdrop of the harrowing Apache wars and eventual removal of the tribe.
Trade ReviewShapard's balanced use of archival sources, secondary sources, and extensive interviews with well-known Apaches like Wendell Chino and Ronnie Lupé, along with his invaluable interviews with Chief Loco's own descendents, including Moses Loco, Norman Loco, and Raymond Loco, make his book a valuable source of information about this critically important Chiricahua leader and his role in a tempestuous period in Apache, New Mexican, and U.S. history. Shapard's study will prove useful to historians, ethnographers, and Native American scholars alike, providing them with a readable and comprehensive picture of the man and his period in a single volume."" -
