ISBN 0806124474 -- This work, and illustrated family history of four generations of Chiricahua Apache women from 1848 to the present, is an eloquent testimonial to the strength and stamina of Apache women. Over the course of thirty-five years, anthropologist Ruth McDonald Boyer collected the remembrances of Narcissus Duffy Gayton, great-great-grandaughter of the Apache chief Victorio, and amplified this oral history with scholarly insight based on extensive fieldwork. This intimate record of Apache life, told from an Apache perspective, highlights the key roles women play in tribal life.
