About the Author…
Eve Ball has lived in the Ruidoso highlands of New Mexico, close to the Mescalero Reservation. Geography made her neighbor to the Apaches: sympathy and liking made her their friends; sensitivity to their part in the historic Southwestern drama made her their historian - able to see experience through their eyes, just as she used the lens of a pioneer Lincoln County woman to view and relate the saga of Ma’am Jones of Pecos (UA Press, 1969). She also edited and annotated the colorful Lily Klasner autobiography My Girlhood Among Outlaws (UA Press, 1972).
About the Narrator…
James Kaywaykla lived longer to recount Apache history than any of his fellow tribesmen. In his latter years, he often stayed in the author’s home to unwind more continuously the thread of narrative. On the warpath in the 1880’s with his chieftain elders, shipped with his people to Florida in 1886, Kaywaykla later was a member of a committee that selected Mescalero as the home of the Chiricahuas and the Warm Springs.
