"Tonio, Son of the Sierras: A Story of the Apache War" by Charles King is a historical novel set in the late 19th century. The story revolves around 'Tonio, an Apache of the Mohave tribe, and his partnership with Lieutenant Hefty Harris of the cavalry, as they engage in scouting missions during a time of conflict with other Apache factions. It explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the complexities of relationships during turbulent times. At the start of the narrative, Lieutenant Harris returns to Camp Almy with 'Tonio, his chief scout, after a failed scouting mission. They encounter a group of officers and engage in light conversation, during which they ponder the region’s lack of rain, with 'Tonio providing cryptic responses rooted in his cultural understanding. The military dynamics present are emphasized by Harris's frustration at being sidelined in command and the political implications of their scouting work amidst rising tensions with other Apache tribes. This sets the stage for both personal rivalries and broader conflicts as they navigate their duties and identities under the pressures of war.
