The crafty Apache chief Geronimo but a few years ago was the most
terrible scourge of the southwest border. The author has woven,
in a tale of thrilling interest, all the incidents of Geronimo's
last raid. The hero is Lieutenant James Decker, a recent graduate
of West Point. Ambitious to distinguish himself the young man
takes many a desperate chance against the enemy and on more than
one occasion narrowly escapes with his life. In our opinion Mr.
Ellis is the best writer of Indian stories now before the public.
