Summary: Fascinating account of the Apache experience
Comment: This is the fascinating and absorbing life story of a Mescalero/Chiracahua Apache man -- one who, when he was just a small child, knew Geronimo. Told in his own words, the story is annotated by a white ethnologist, Opler, who made a study of the Apache people over several decades and knew this man very well (the first section of the book explains the culture and historical context), so that all references made by the speaker can be understood by any reader. As he recalls events of his life, he draws the reader deeper into his experience: from his respect and love of the old Apache ways, to the stress and anxiety created by tribal and family disruption caused by government interference. He speaks often and at length about the uses of spiritual power as found in plants, animals, and the earth. This book was apparently written as a textbook for cultural anthropology at Stanford University, but it also deserves our attention for its humanity and for the intriguing story it tells.
