n informative book that highlights the sad and criminal treatment of Native Americans by those seeking to steal their land. I enjoyed reading about the efforts of Cochise and his fellow warriors in resisting the genocide.
This book had some very useful tips and instruction. I might buy it later for reference.
No one values freedom more than one who has been a prisioner! The first 13 chapters detail Alicia Dabrowski's family's arrest in Poland by the KGB, time in a Siberian slave-labor camp and their odyssey to find freedom in America. The last 10 chapters share the success she shares with her husband as an Amway Diamond.
An inspiring story of endurance and faith.

"The Apache sense of place was essentially their culture." They worshiped one god-- Ussen-- who made them caretakers of the Earth, and if they did not care for it properly, it would be taken from them. They knew their homeland so intimately it was the major reason why they were able to hold off thousands of soldiers in America's longest war. For example, during one time period, Geronimo, along with thirty-four men, women, and children outran and outfought 5,000 American and 3,000 Mexican soldiers.
Even though so much Apache history has been wiped clean from their ancestral lands, Price includes many historic places (and the directions to them) that readers can visit. I was pleased to see that I'd been to most of the Arizona locations such as Cochise Stronghold, the Chiricahua National Monument, Fort Bowie, the Butterfield Overland Trail, and Skeleton Canyon.
But while my knowledge of the area greatly enhanced my enjoyment of Riding with Cochise, it was the history of the Apaches themselves that was vital. I learned so much about Cochise, Mangas Coloradas, Victorio, and Geronimo-- leaders known by their Spanish names because their actual names were too difficult for the Mexicans and Americans to pronounce.
The Apache leaders were honorable men. They wanted peace and did their best to achieve it. They upheld all the terms of any treaties they agreed to. However, it was impossible to trust those with whom they signed agreements. An American Army officer ordered one Apache leader to be murdered, and the Mexicans loved to bring the Apaches in under a flag of truce to then massacre them and collect the bounties on their scalps. No wonder the Apache fought so hard.
Riding with Cochise is a fast-paced, informative history of the American Southwest. The next time I'm traveling in southeastern Arizona, I'll have an even greater appreciation of the Apache, their history, and their homeland.… (plus d'informations)
