This is such a good story. It’s hard to believe in the era of cars and airplanes, the Apache were still being hunted and misunderstood/mistreated in the great desert Southwest. I have hiked in the Chirachua mountains and found them to be a truly magical place. (

I throughly enjoyed every line every word in this book. A far cry from my usual type of subject matter. Can not remember reading anything remotely similar other than Little Big Man. This book was wonderful and I was braced for it to end badly, it's Indians for petes sake, but I was pleasantly surprised. Loved it. (

Ah Another very enjoyable read by Jim Fergus. Not so long ago i read The White Women and thanks to dancing-dog i was able to read this wish list book as well.
I really enjoyed it. Love the way how he manages to make the characters real. They have flaws but are still like-able. Hope he will write more soon. (

La nina bronca - the wild girl was an unusual read for me. The novel took me back to 1932 with a 17 year old orphan who wanted to become a photo journalist. Ned joins a posse from Arizona of "rich kids" out for an adventure to save a young child that had bee kidnapped by the Apache in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico. Never a dull moment..He grows up....entertaining. (
