"A well-written history, and up to the time of its publication the most nearly complete work on this notorious Arizona Indian outlaw."--Six Guns 748. An excellent account. A trusted Indian scout for Al Sieber and Gen. Crook during the 1880's, The Apache Kid murdered another Indian in 1887. In attempting to surrender an excited melee occurred and Al Sieber was shot in the foot. The Apache Kid fled but returned and surrendered. He and 3 other Apaches were charged and convicted of attempted murder in the incident. While transporting The Apache Kid and four other prisoners, the guards were overpowered. With 2 guards dead and the other severely wounded, The Apache Kid fled. Although suspected of other murders, the remainder of The Apache Kid's life remains a mystery. Illustrated with numerous old photos and one color plate by Charles M. Russell. A fine, bright copy in dust jacket with some minor edge wear and a 1" closed-tear to top edge of rear panel.
