Apache Wars: An Illustrated Battle History

One of the better books to cover the Indian wars (1870's to late1880's) and the Apache in particular. Covers the early history and background as well detailed chapter on Geronimo. It goes in to great detail of the daily living conditions and activates of the period from weapons employment, to cavalry tactics and pack train techniques using period reference material and military manuals. Has a superb chapter on the Apache and their employment by the Army, as guides, scouts and trackers and debunks some of myths of their capabilities. The book has extensive end matter (general and periodical bibliography, index as well one appendix). The appendix on uniforms is extensively plated with diagrams and templates of specifications and standards of uniform fabrication, ideal information for reenactors and historians of the period. Over all I recommend this title to all military readers.
