Fort Apache [large print] / by Ingram, Hunter,author.(CARDINAL)828226;

"Lt. Owen Parnell, U. S. Army -- on Geronimo's trail! The Apaches were being cheated at every turn. Food and supplies promised by treaty were not arriving. Instead, they were being sold for huge profits by a band of scheming traders known as the Tucson Ring. So, the Apaches took to the warpath, and Lt. Parnell was ordered to track down Geronimo. Parnell had spent time with the Apache and had developed a rapport that no one else had with him. For a while, it looked like they had come to an agreement. But other forces were at work to derail the peace and this time the trail led right back to Fort Apache!"--

Volt : stories / by Heathcock, Alan.(CARDINAL)595532;

One man kills another after neither will move his pickup truck from the road. A female sheriff in a flooded town attempts to cover up a murder. When a farmer harvesting a field accidentally runs over his son, his grief sets him off walking, mile after mile. A band of teens bent on destruction runs amok in a deserted town at night. As these men and women lash out at the inscrutable churn of the world around them, they find a grim measure of peace in their solitude. Throughout Volt, Alan Heathcock's stark realism is leavened by a lyric energy that matches the brutality of the surface. And as you move through the wind-lashed landscape of these stories, faint signs of hope appear underfoot. In Volt, the work of a writer who's hell-bent on wrenching out whatever beauty this savage world has to offer, Heathcock's tales of lives set afire light up the sky like signal flares touched off in a moment of desperation. --Amazon.com

Ambush at Soda Creek [large print] / by Patten, Lewis B.,author.(CARDINAL)723712;

"Captain Logan Garcia was a very worried man. Were his suspicions true? Could Shaver, the new Indian scout, be trusted? No one could sense what was going on in the mind of scout Hiram Shaver. A loner and a newcomer to Fort Lincoln, Shaver's duty was to lead three troops of the 10th Cavalry, under the command of Colonel Detrick, in pursuit of the Apache band that kidnaped the colonel's wife. The colonel, lost deep in his own personal as well as military problems, had to rely on Shaver. Was it a coincidence that the rescue party was struggling over the region's roughest terrain, or that the scout always seemed to find water for them just before they were ready to collapse? Second in command, Captain Garcia's stomach sank with the uneasy implications of his suspicions. If Shaver was indeed a traitor as Garcia had suspected, he was not only wearing out the men of the 10th, but also bringing them ingeniously into the waiting arms of an Apache war party. It was a daring, perhaps flawless plan. But, could Logan Garcia find a way to stop it?"--

The wrath of Cochise : the Bascom affair and the origins of the Apache wars / by Mort, T. A.(Terry A.)(CARDINAL)467863;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 304-313) and index.Some awful moment -- The Mexican War and its aftermath -- Hatred -- Miners at the tip of the spear -- The education of a warrior -- Bascom's Commission -- Bascom goes West -- Rising tensions -- From Fort Buchanan to Apache Pass -- Meeting the other -- Retribution -- Aftermath.In February 1861, the twelve-year-old son of Arizona rancher John Ward was kidnapped by Apaches. Ward followed their trail and reported the incident to patrols at Fort Buchanan, blaming a band of Chiricahuas led by the infamous warrior Cochise. Though Ward had no proof that Cochise had kidnapped his son, Lt. George Bascom organized a patrol and met with the Apache leader, who, not suspecting anything was amiss, had brought along his wife, his brother, and two sons. Despite Cochise's assertions that he had not taken the boy and his offer to help in the search, Bascom immediately took Cochise's family hostage and demanded the return of the boy. An incensed Cochise escaped the meeting tent amidst flying bullets and vowed revenge.What followed that precipitous encounter would ignite a Southwestern frontier war between the Chiricahuas and the US Army that would last twenty-five years. In the days following the initial melee, innocent passersby -- Apache, white, and Mexican -- would be taken as hostages on both sides, and almost all of them would be brutally slaughtered. Cochise would lead his people valiantly for ten years of the decades-long war.Thousands of lives would be lost, the economies of Arizona and New Mexico would be devastated, and in the end, the Chiricahua way of life would essentially cease to exist.In a gripping narrative that often reads like an old-fashioned Western novel, Terry Mort explores the collision of these two radically different cultures in a masterful account of one of the bloodiest conflicts in our frontier history.
