Description

General George Crook planned and organized the principal Apache campaign in Arizona| and General Nelson Miles took credit for its successful conclusion on the 1800s| but the men who really won it were rugged frontiersmen such as Al Sieber| the renowned Chief of Scouts.
Crook relied on Sieber to lead Apache scouts against renegade Apaches| who were adept at hiding and raiding from within their native terrain.
In this carefully researched biography| Dan L.
Thrapp gives extensive evidence for Sieber’s expertise| noting that the expeditions he accompanied were highly successful whereas those from which he was absent met with few triumphs.
Perhaps the greatest tribute to his abilities was paid by a San Carlos Apache who| no matter how miserable life might become| because| he said| Sieber would find him even if he left no tracks.
