Gr 6 Up-Narrative histories that cover important periods of Native history. Of the two, Reaping the Whirlwind, an account of the 40-year Apache wars, is a darker story that emphasizes the inevitability of the Indian's defeat. More than 20 black-and-white maps and reproductions of historical documents and photos are well captioned and credited. Less background material is included in this title and there is more stereotypical language and tribal name confusion. Apache are frequently described as "sullen" or "noble." Tecumseh provides evenhanded biographical information on the visionary orator and war chief who desired to establish a unified Indian confederation. Stefoff covers interesting facets of Shawnee life, explains and dispels myths, and weighs evidence carefully where there are conflicting historical accounts. The tone is clear and explanatory, but there are a few instances when the word choice is stereotypical or overworn. In one case, Indian life is described as one lived "in harmony with nature." Names for tribal groups are well handled, although there is a slight confusion of the distinction between Chippewa and Ojibwa. In both books, supplementary detail is found in sidebars. The uneven quality of the titles in this series recommend that they be considered individually.-Loriene Roy, University of Texas, Austin (c) Copyright 2010.

Following an informative note on the difficulties of recounting a history documented by few, and often one-sided, primary sources, Aleshire presents a lucid, detailed account of the violent conflicts between the Apaches and the Europeans determined to settle on their lands. Extensive quotations from original sources on both sides add immediacy. The archival photos included are interesting, if not always well reproduced. Bib., ind.

Gr. 7^-12. Tragic betrayals and fierce determination on both sides fueled the bitter wars between the U.S. government and the Apache. After the Mexican War, the government's campaign against the Apache set in motion roughly half a century's worth of a relentless drive to control a people it feared and mistrusted. At this time Apache warriors began referring to themselves as Indeh, "the Dead." Aleshire has written a meticulously researched and detailed account of the Apache wars, profiling leaders on both sides, from Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, Victorio, and Geronimo to Generals Howard, Crook, and Miles, and numerous scouts and agents who played a powerful role in the ongoing drama. Outstanding photographs, firsthand accounts, and careful detailing to distinguish the various branches of the Apache make this account highly useful for interested and researching students. Bibliography; chapter-end source notes. --Anne O'Malley
