A proposito di questo titolo
 Geronimo (1829 – 1909) was a legendary leader of the Bedonkohe Apache, fiercely opposing Mexican and American encroachments on Apache territory throughout the tumultuous Apache Wars. The name Geronimo was bestowed upon him during a fierce battle with Mexican soldiers. Following a heartbreaking attack in 1858 that claimed the lives of his mother, wife, and three children, Geronimo embarked on a relentless quest for vengeance, leading daring raids against Mexican provinces and later targeting American settlements across Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas.

    Six Years with the Texas Rangers, 1875 to 1881 by James B. Gillett.

    James Gillet recounts his adventures with the Texas Rangers 1856-1937. In a very entertaining style he recounts personal stories of wars, feuds, battles with the Apache nation and pursuing robbers and murderers. From these stories, and others like them, arose the many legends of courage and daring among the Texas Rangers. “The Texas Rangers, as an organization, dates from the spring of 1836. When the Alamo had fallen before the onslaught of the Mexican troops and the frightful massacre had occurred, General Sam Houston organized among the Texan settlers in the territory a troop of 1600 mounted riflemen.

    Apache Campaign In The Sierra Madre-John Gregory Bourke
    Nov 9 2026
    Apache Campaign In The Sierra Madre by John Gregory Bourke.

    An account of the expedition [of the U.S. Army] in pursuit of the hostile Chiricahua Apaches in the spring of 1883. (Book subtitle) Bourke was a Medal of Honor awardee in the American Civil War whose subsequent Army career included several campaigns in the Indian wars of the mid to late 19th century in the American West. He wrote prolifically. He was mostly free of the unfortunate disdain for Native Americans common in 19th century America. He was quite admiring of many aspects of the Native American. “… Bourke had the opportunity to witness every facet of life in the Old West—the battles, wildlife, the internal squabbling among the military, the Indian Agency, settlers, and Native Americans.”

  • Insurgent Mexico-John Reed

    Insurgent Mexico-John Reed
    Nov 8 2026
    Insurgent Mexico by John Reed.

    In the autumn of 1913 John Reed was sent to Mexico by the Metropolitan Magazine to report the Mexican Revolution. He shared the perils of Pancho Villa's army for four months, present with Villa's Constitutional Army when it defeated Federal forces at Torreón, opening the way for its advance on Mexico City. Reed's time with the Villistas resulted in a series of outstanding magazine articles that brought Jack a national reputation as a war correspondent. Reed deeply sympathized with the plight of the peons and vehemently opposed American intervention, which came shortly after he left. Jack adored Villa, while Carranza left him cold. Jack's Mexican reports were later republished in book form as Insurgent Mexico , which appeared in 1914.
