Overview
The Apache, part of the Indians of North America series, presents a fascinating portrayal of the history and culture of these native people. They are perhaps most noted for such fierce leaders as Cochise and Geronimo. Their name, which comes from the Yuma Indian word for "fighting men," bears that out. The volume explores each of the six regional groups that compose the Apache tribe: Western Apache, Chiricahua, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Lipan, and Kiowa Apache.\xa0
