Book Review

Eyewitnesses to the Indian Wars, 1865—1890. Volume One: The Struggle for Apacheria. Edited by Peter Cozzens. (Mechanicsburg, PA: Stackpole Books, 2001. xxxiv + 683 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, index. $49.95.)

Historians researching the Indian Wars are not as fortunate as Civil War specialists are in that the latter are blessed with a wide range of available published source compilations such as the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion (Washington, DC, 1880—1901) and Battles and Leaders (New York, 1887—1888). Thanks to Peter Cozzens, research into the Apache Wars, and eventually other Native-American conflicts, has been made a bit easier. Eyewitnesses to the Indian Wars is the first of a projected five-volume compilation of first-person accounts amassed in the fashion of Battles and Leaders. 1

While its Civil War protégé consists of articles reprinted from one source, Century Magazine, this volume of Eyewitnesses to the Indian Wars is an assembled collection of rarely seen narratives drawn from a wide variety of publications. The editor has gathered together letters, articles, reports, and manuscripts that tell the words of army officers, scouts, Native Americans, and women offering their perspective on the tenuous relationship between the Americans and the Apaches. It was a continuous conflict that began to heat up right after the Civil War and that ended during the decade before the turn of the nineteenth century with the surrender of Geronimo. . . .
