This
story of
a white
man who
believed
himself
to be a
full-blooded
Apache
has an
accurately
drawn
historic
background
in the
last
campaigns
of the
famous
Geronimo.
The
Apache
lore
woven
into the
story is
the
result
of
careful
research
into the
customs
of this
little
understood
tribe of
fighting
men and
personal
knowledge
gained
while
the
author
served
in the
7th
United
States
Cavalry
in the
Apache
country
thirty-six
years
ago. But
the
history
is only
a
background
for a
typical
Burroughs
story of
thrilling
action
and
adventure
through
which
runs a
strange
love
story
that
meets a
seeming
insuperable
obstacle
in the
racial
pride of
an
Apache
warrior
and a
white
girl. A
western
of
westerns,
the
story is
peculiar
in that
it is
written
largely
from the
viewpoint
of an
Indian.
The
author
has
painted
a vivid
picture
of times
that are
gone
forever,
against
a
background
of
desert
and
mountain
wilderness
in New
Mexico,
Arizona,
Senoma
and
Chihuahua.

Gian-nahuh,

horse;
and
Wichita

the
white
girl
that he
loved
are
virile
characters
in a
story of
hate and
loyalty
and
love, of
stunning
fights,
of
massacre
and
torture.

foreman
of the
Bar Y
ranch,
who
seldom
smiled
and when
not in
liquor
rarely
spoke.
Elias
Henders,
the
Boss,
and a
pretty
good
fellow
in every
way, had
warned
Bull
that the
Bar Y
could
not
afford
to have
a
foreman
who got
drunk,
and
Diana
Henders
with
whom he
is in
love,
had
turned
the cold
shoulder
upon him
the last
time.
Hal
Colby,
the
handsomest
of the
ranchmen,
had a
pocket
flask,
which
which he
tempted
Bull to
drink
more
than he
should,
and
despite
the
efforts
of Texas
Pete,
Bull
went
wild and
was
discharged.
He was
hired as
a hand
the next
day and
Colby
became
the new
foreman.
This
situation
developed
into a
bloody
feud
between
Colby
and
Bull.
A story
with
thrills,
tense

situations,
unforgettable
characters,
the
humor
and

of the

and over
all the
glamour
and
romance
of the
old
West.
