Synopsis

Apache: A warrior race of people with a history longer than sand has passed through the hour glass of time.The nation’s economy, like that of other Indian tribes, was based primarily on hunting and raiding; they were hunters and warriors of the first degree.History says that it was Spanish Conquistadors under the command of Francisco Coronado (1510– 1554) who first made contact with the Apache and traded with them. The Spaniards referred to the Apache as the ‘dog people’ because they did not have horses and traveled with much of their burdens being carried by dogs described as being white with black or brown spots.Where the Comanche ran up on their enemy shouting and screaming, the Apache took a radical approach of a silent swift attack that his victim did not hear coming.

À propos de l'auteur

Avid history buff and journalist, Meredith Anderson was born in Osceola, Missouri. A graduate of Weber State University, he was President of the state wide organization, League of Utah Writers in 2007. For much of his adult life he has written articles for magazines and newspapers to entertain the outdoor enthusiast. His core subjects include history, hunting, fishing, camping, and cooking. He was asked several times while signing books at western book events why he didn’t write about the Apache people. This is the result of that endeavor. To his credit, one of his two fantasy novels (Whispering Oaks, The Curse) has been nominated twice for motion picture production. His novel about a young sailor during the Vietnam war, MORE THAN A JOB, AN ADVENTURE has won the coveted Gold Quill Award for Literature and along with most of his books has recently been made into an audiobook available at Audible.com, Amazon.com and iTunes. Being a Vietnam Veteran gave him the experience. His book Civil War Women of Courage is used as recommended reading by the history department of a local University and is also available as an audiobook on Audible.com.
