This book is one of the very best books on the Apache tribe in Arizona, supported by Wallace who says this book was
“the first significant contribution to Arizona history, but it remains one of the best, setting a pattern for general works which concerned the new Territory”.
According to Field, this work
“…is a truthful portraiture of the terrors which attend border life in Arizona, where one twentieth part of the population had been swept away by the incursions of the Apaches in three years.”
Per Larned:
“some account of natural features is included among many adventures and personal details: one of the more interesting books of its numerous class.”
