Description:
Story of the American West weaves together the quintessential elements of the mythic West Indian wars, outlaw shootouts, cattle-sheep conflicts, lynchings, Native American culture and polygamy. Historical narrative and poignant details combine to tell true stories from the perspectives of all the participants.
The book traces the history and people of east-central Arizona much like James A. Michener did in his fictional work on Centennial, Colorado. Zane Grey, who did more than anyone to create the image of the Old West, visited regularly to collect material for his novels. But the rich details of the region s history are more powerful than fiction.
Arizona s Indian wars are retold from the point of view of Geronimo, the soldiers and the Apache Scouts who pursued him and a settler whose husband was killed. Outlaw stories range from the jailing of Butch Cassidy to the mortal wounding of a Hispanic Arizona Ranger who lamented leaving his widow only a dollar. The lynching of three young cowboys the historical event behind The Ox-Bow Incident is told from the perspective of the mob and the victims.
Other characters include Corydon Cooley, who saved a band of friendly Apaches from a massacre; William Flake, an apostate who helped the Latter-day Saints settle five towns; and Alchesay, who killed a rival Apache chief before winning the Medal of Honor.
Story of the American West tells of Hispanics as Conquistadors, Indian fighters and sheep men. Genetics, language and archaeology are used to trace Native Americans from entry into the New World through development of Hopi and Zuni culture to the arrival of Navajos and Apaches.
