Book review - "The Apache Wars" by Paul Andrew Hutton (2017)

 Excellent history of the US war with the Apaches, which starte relatively late but went on forever. I was familiar with many Westerns based on this - Geronimo, Cochise, Magnas Colorado. I'm surprised no one has really gotten behind the Mickey Free story. The Ameicans don't come out of it that well but the Apaches did make them pay.  Depressing, exciting, full of colourful characters A lot of "two people were killed... three surveyors were killed... they killed a family". Maybe these bits could've been dramatised a little more.
