Chiricahua

Rating:
Summary: A Scalp-Raiser!
Review: A classic western scenario! A stagecoach that must reach its final destination. Apaches on the warpath. One hero with a score to settle. A wise old sheriff, a trigger-happy deputy, a glory-hungry cavalry Lieutenant, and a host of other frontier types, all drawn to confrontation at a deserted stage station. But there's an added twist to this wonderful tale of Southwestern Arizona - an Apache scout by the name of Peaches, who is always more than he seems. His presence, plus a rapid-fire story line, makes "Chiricahua" an excellent read. Winner of the 1973 Spur Award for Historical Novel, "Chiricahua" is marred only by the use at times of excessive bad language. Otherwise, it would be worthy of 5 stars.
