They Never Surrendered: Bronco Apaches . . .

[Pat Holscher]

This book is a little off topic, so I'll keep the review short.

"They Never Surrendered" can only be described in terms that are normally reserved for novels. Blood-curdling, hair raising, spine tingling. It's a good read.

Douglas V. Meed, the son of army officer who had served along the US border with Mexico during the Mexican Revolution brings to light a little known story of continued Apache resistance up until the mid-1930s. The book focuses in part upon the tragic efforts of a Mexican rancher to recover his son, taken as an infant in a reprisal raid, but it does cover more than that.

This book, together with Glen Justice's "Revolution on the Rio Grande", (see Joe Sullivan's thread on that book in the archive section of the main forum) bring to light the violent border during the first decades of the 20th Century. Very interesting.
