An Apache Odyssey - New Maps by Eve Ball with Nora Henn and Lynda Sanchez - Signed copy by Lynda Sanchez
" A masterpiece of oral history...The Apache survivors tell a gripping story of danger and hardship- war in the Southwest, exile in Florida and Alabama, prisoner-of-war status in Oklahoma and, finally, the return home. Not only do we get a fresh view - the Indian view - of historical events, we come to understand and respect the Apache as a people." Publishers Weekly
Eve Ball was a long time resident of Ruidoso, on the edge of the Mescalaro Apache Reservation in southern New Mexico. She conducted her interviews and her research among the Apaches over three decades. Nora Henn and Lynda Sanchez, friends who helped Ball prepare her manuscript, have since pursued Indian Studies and the history of Lincoln County, New Mexico.
