From the Spanish incursions of the mid-16th century through the conflicts with the Mexicans in the 18th and 19th centuries until the American-Indian wars of the late 19th century the Apaches remained in a constant state of war to defend their territory. Warriors such as Cochise and Geronimo struggled to maintain independence and to retain their culture in the face of overwhelming odds. This fascinating look at the life of the Apache not only covers their wartime activities but also looks at their culture, social structure and religion.
