The Tonto Apaches were the western-most group of Apache Indians and had been in the remote Rim Country of Arizona for hundreds of years before the arrival of white trappers, miners, and settlers. They lived off the land as hunter-gatherers, occasionally raiding other groups to acquire horses or cows. The arrival of a larger number of white settlers in the 1800s would begin the inevitable march towards conflict between two very different cultures - one white; one Indian. This book describes in detail the resilience of the Tonto Apache as they were forced onto two different reservations, including their winter march to San Carlos in 1875. Their struggle continued after the Indian wars as they returned to Rim Country to find they had no homeland remaining. Finally, in 1972, land was designated specifically for them. This is a true story of survival under the harshest conditions and a testament to the strength and perseverance of the Tonto Apache people.
