Apaches: A History and Culture Portrait, discusses the lifeway of the Apaches- their mythology and folklore, religious customs, everyday life and social mores. Haley then explores the tumultuous decades of trade and treaty and of betrayal and bloodshed that preceded the Apaches final military defeat in 1886. He emphasizes figures who played a decisive role in the conflict: Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, and Geronimo on one hand, and Royal Whitman, George Crook, and John Clum on the other.
