Description

Lt. Charles Gatewood & His Apache Wars Memoir is a unique and fascinating account of life as an Apache scout commander in the late 19th century. Written by Lt. Charles B. Gatewood, this memoir offers a firsthand perspective on Gatewood's experiences working with Native American tribes, including his involvement in the last Apache war. Gatewood's efforts to understand and connect with the cultures of the people he worked with were instrumental in earning their trust, particularly with Geronimo and Naiche. This memoir provides an important insight into Gatewood's life as a military commander and his work for Indian rights. Louis Kraft has presented Gatewood's previously unpublished account, complemented by an introduction, additional text, detailed notes, and an epilogue. This edition offers new background information on Gatewood and sheds new light on the events in which he took part.
