| Summary | "General Crook and the Fighting Apaches" by Edwin L. Sabin is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores the military campaigns of General George Crook against the Apache tribes in the southwestern United States during the late 19th century, particularly focusing on themes of conflict, understanding, and the approach to Native American affairs. The narrative unveils both the struggles and the character of the Apaches, as well as the complexities of the U.S. military's interactions with them. The opening of the work sets the stage by presenting young Jimmie Dunn, who is herding sheep at the Kitchen ranch in southern Arizona and is soon captured by a group of Chiricahua Apaches. The text vividly describes Jimmie's initial shock and adaptation to his captivity among the Apaches, where he learns their ways and begins to grapple with his identity after being thrust into their world. Accompanied by various Apache characters, including Nah-che, the son of Cochise, and the peculiar red-headed boy named Micky, Jimmie navigates life in a camp of indigenous peoples while simultaneously yearning for his old life. This beginning hints at themes of cultural exchange, survival, and the tension between different ways of life, promising a multifaceted look at the historical narrative surrounding General Crook and the Apache wars.
