E. L. Reedstrom (1928–2003)

The Apache people deserve to be remembered for much more than their renegades, but public interest in their warlike days remains high. Reedstrom is a historian and noted illustrator of Western and cavalry themes, and this book reflects his military interest. The various campaigns and forays throughout Arizona Territory and northern Mexico are covered in vigorous detail. Numerous period photographs, particularly of a subjugated Geronimo, are both arresting and poignant. The author's own show more detailed color drawings of U.S. army uniforms and Indian dress make the book a useful reference source as well as a delight to the military buff.
