- Summary
- "During his mature life, Juh, a redoubtable Apache and a man with a talent for war, was closely associated with and overshadowed by Geronimo. But Juh was a chief and Geronimo only a war leader; Juh took precedence over his warrior comrade and Geronimo deferred to Juh. That is how history should rank these two redoubtable Apache leaders, but until recently the record has been reversed."--BOOK JACKET. "Juh's extraordinary record displayed leadership qualities, imagination in battle, awareness of strategy, a grasp of tactics and a singular ability to employ and discipline his followers as effectively as the well-trained soldiers they warred against."--BOOK JACKET. "In the great operations in which Juh participated, his direction was always markedly his own and could not be mistaken for another's. In the Cushing fight of 1871, in making possible Victorio's exodus from New Mexico in 1880, and in the stunning 1882 release of hundreds of Apaches from Arizona's San Carlos Reservation and leading them through the military-guarded wilderness to their secure retreat in the Sierra Madres of Mexico - in all these actions and others, Juh's genius prevailed."--BOOK JACKET. "Dan Thrapp, the Southwest's greatest Apache historian, sets the record straight in Juh, the first (and only) full account of this remarkable Apache's shadowy life and career."--BOOK JACKET. "Originally published by Texas Western Press in 1973, this new edition of Juh: An Incredible Indian contains a new introductory essay by Thrapp and an updated text."--Jacket
