Adventures in the Apache country

Contains primary source material. The author accompanied Poston in his tour as Indian agent. No other work gives so vivid or such an accurate account of the country, and of the terrors which then attended border life in Arizona, where one-twentieth of the population had been swept away by the attacks of the Apaches in three years. The book contains a sketch of the Arizona career of Sylvester Mowry, a long account of S. F. Butterworth's adventures in Arizona; an account of the Oatman captivity, etc.
