Apache Devil
by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Kidnapped as a child by the Apaches from his white pioneer family and raised by Geronimo, Shoz-Dijiji or Black Bear is now the brave and successful military chief of the Apacches. In addition to his hunting and fighting skills, he learned to fiercely hate witnesses to his constant miserable treatment of Apaches (" white eyes "). Shoz-Dijiji is also suffering the loss caused by the death of a young Indian diva she loved. The bloodthirsty Satan Apache is known as a brave and fearless raider, his adventures bring him closer to Vivita Billings, a hard-minded white borderline girl, and they reluctantly fall in love despite their perceived culture and racial differences. But the main action of the novel is Geronimos' final quest and capitulation to General Miles, where it is chronicled in gloomy and realistic detail. The Apache Devil is notable for its honest and compassionate attitude towards Apache life at a time when almost everyone's Apacis are incarnated by the devil; It is an epic worthy of the Apache Devil of a fascinating but tragic period of American history.
