Both Hayden and Annie must travel through the hot desert landscape of the Arizona Territory, where an Apache uprising has just broken out.

In the tradition of Empire of the Summer Moon, a stunningly vivid historical account of the manhunt for Geronimo and the 25-year Apache struggle for their homeland. They called him Mickey Free. His kidnapping started the longest war in American history, and both sides--the Apaches and the white invaders—blamed him for it. A mixed-blood warrior who moved uneasily between the worlds of the Apaches and the American soldiers, he was never trusted by either but desperately needed by both. He was the only man Geronimo ever feared. He played a pivotal role in this long war for the desert Southwest from its beginning in 1861 until its end in 1890 with his pursuit of the renegade scout, Apache Kid. In this sprawling, monumental work, Paul Hutton unfolds over two decades of the last war for the West through the eyes of the men and women who lived it. This is Mickey Free's story, but also the story of his contemporaries: the great Apache leaders Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, and Victorio; the soldiers Kit Carson, O. O. Howard, George Crook, and Nelson Miles; the scouts and frontiersmen Al Sieber, Tom Horn, Tom Jeffords, and Texas John Slaughter; the great White Mountain scout Alchesay and the Apache female warrior Lozen; the fierce Apache warrior Geronimo; and the Apache Kid. These lives shaped the violent history of the deserts and mountains of the Southwestern borderlands--a bleak and unforgiving world where a people would make a final, bloody stand against an American war machine bent on their destruction.

The southwest tribes include the Apache, Navajo, and Pueblo. These tribes are known for their art, architecture, and fierceness in battle. This exciting book captures the richness of these tribes' cultures and provides an in-depth look at the warriors and wars that shaped them.

The year 1941 had been a boring year for sixteen-year-old Joseph Stillwater, a Mescalero Apache living on a New Mexico Indian reservation. That was until that December when he heard President Roosevelt’s speech to Congress after the Pearl Harbor bombing. Instantly, he and his cousin, John Runninghorse, knew what they wanted to do. They wanted to fight the enemies of America. So, they defied their parents, ran away, lied about their ages, and joined the Army. Neither teen had ever been off the reservation, yet soon they were in Alabama doing basic training. From there they were sent to Tidworth, England, for specialty training where they were joined by several other Native American soldiers. Their expertise in fighting, tracking, and hunting was so above other American soldiers, it soon had them being reassigned to Scotland where they were to train with elite British Commando soldiers. With the war in Europe intensifying, they were released from that training and sent to France where their mission was to form a unit that could fight and harass the Germans from the shadows while collecting intelligence. They were so successful, the Germans gave them a nickname Geistkriegers, the Spirit Warriors, because they were never seen before or after their deadly attacks, but only heard when they gave an Indian war cry from the depths of the forests. While in France, Joseph found love when he met a French girl, Maria, but experienced heartbreak when she was taken by the Germans. That heartbreak turned into anger and hatred, and turned Joseph into a true Apache warrior on a blood hunt for all Germans. When the war ended, Joseph took those pent-up emotions home with him where his grandfather, his tribe’s shaman, saw the demons within his grandson. He suggested Joseph to experience a ritual spirit walk to his ancestors to cleanse him of his demons. Joseph consented, but could a “visit” to his ancestors cleanse him of the pain he had felt in losing Maria?
