Geography made her neighbor to the Apaches; sympathy and liking made her their friend; sensitivity to their part in the historic Southwestern drama made her their historian--able to see experience through their eyes, just as she used the lends of a pioneer Lincoln County woman to view and relate the saga of \u003ci\u003eMa'am Jones of the Pecos\u003c\/i\u003e.

In his later years, he often stayed in the author's home to unwind more continuously the thread of narrative. On the warpath in the 1880s with his chieftain elders, shipped with his people to Florida in 1886, Kaywaykla later was a member of a committee that selected Mescalero as the home of the Chiricahuas and the Warm Springs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Arizona Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50328870158610,"sku":"9780816504015","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ac31f74d-9a6c-4267-81c2-aa9c409f4cb8.jpg?v=1727753470","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/in-the-days-of-victorio-recollections-of-a-warm-springs-apache-9780816504015","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
