I estimate this relevant for teen boys and older, and anyone interested in Apache history.
Told by Little Feet--later called Will, grandson (adopted?) of Geronimo who tags along, small enough not to be noticed, but remembering all he sees and hears. The book's first section is mainly flashbacks during the long train ride of the group of Apache prisoners and their families heading toward Florida with many stops for public displays and news interviews. Little Feet remembers the circumstances which led to Geronimo fighting against the US Army, which he was predisposed to see as an ally against the Mexicans who marauded the Apaches for slaves, and the circumstances of Geronimo's capture. This presents the human side of a popularly misunderstood personage.
Altho fictionalized, Bruchac lists an extensive bibliography and consulted Chiricahua's for their historical perspective. Each chapter has an epigraph, usually a quote from a relevant current news article on the Apaches, or from political leaders.
The story is written interestingly and sympathetically. ( )
