Desperate warrior : days of war, days of peace
Farmer, W. Michael, 1944-2024
Large Print
The saga of Pedes-klinje - known to the Mexicans as Chato - blazes a trail through the annals of the Apache wars. From 1877, his name was etched in the fiery heart of battle - a figure brimming with ferocity, hunger for power and a disdain for peace with the white invaders. As the trusted lieutenant of Chircauhua chief Geronimo, Chato's days are painted in the hues of raid and revolt until his wife and children are taken into slavery in Mexico. Betting on General George Crook's influence to retrieve his kin, Chato strikes a deal to aid the US Army in maintaining peace on the Fort Apache Reservation. But when Geronimo denounces him as a traitor, Chato vows to hunt down the renegades himself, becoming a beacon of the Chiricahua peace faction.
