Adventures in the Apache country: A tour through Arizona and Sonora : with notes on the silver regions of Nevada
by J. Ross Browne
On This Page
Description
Browne takes a journey through the new territory during the late part of the civil war when settlers were having some of the worst troubles with the Apache nation and troops were busy in the east. Taken from the original serialization in 1864 and 65, Browne introduces the old west through the eyes of a contemporary traveler, complete with the prevailing thought of day. This is a journey worth taking to understand the life and times and thought of mid nineteenth century Arizona and America.Tags
