The Struggle for Apacheria (Eyewitnesses to the Indian Wars, 1865-1890)

Patterned after the classic "Battles and Leaders of the Civil War", this series of five volumes will be the most comprehensive work on the military aspects of the Indian Wars in the West. The author will gather a wide variety of first-person accounts that are not generally available elsewhere, relying primarily on unpublished manuscript accounts and contemporaneous newspaper articles. Each article covering an event or battle will be placed within its context, with background information on the author of the article, a historical introduction evaluating the article's accuracy and significance, and a "for further reading" list of sources.
