The illustrated wraps are in good condition (some edge wear and chipping, creases on front and back). 7 x 4 ¼, 342 pages, 8 ounces XX (From the back cover) This account of [the Navajos'] history and their present is one of the best I have read. Terrell writes with a strong affection for the Navajos, does not hesitate to express ideas which may not be popular with some, but his history is impeccable. There is not the slightest tinge of romanticizing. One has the feeling that the Navajos, being the kind of people they are, want it no other way (ROBERT KIRSCH, Los Angeles Times). Although this book is not written for specialists, they would do well to read it as an insight into the techniques of fusing history and anthropology together into very readable ethnohistory . . . a fine book (Choice). [From the Los Angeles Times, Dec. 4, 1988] John Upton Terrell, who ran away from home in his teens to become a cowboy and later gained critical acclaim as a historian of the Old West, died Thursday. He was 87. Terrell suffered a heart attack after being hospitalized for less than a week with chest pains, his daughter said. He had most recently lived in Claremont before moving in November into a retirement home in San Bernardino County. The author of more than 40 books, Terrell?s work included war reportage, novels and children?s stories. But the silver-maned writer was best known for his histories of the Old West, a region for which he had a particular affinity. The late Times book critic Robert Kirsch called Terrell?s LIFE AMONG THE APACHES one of a small number of indispensable works in Western Americana. Seller Inventory # 001928
