Now nearly ninety-eight, Nino is blessed with a memory brings in detail an untold and hitherto mostly unknown segment of american Indian life. He was only two years old in 1876 when the Chiricahua Apaches were removed from their homeland reservation by a force of U.S. Cavalry and scouts to the desolate San Carlos Reservation. ***The panorama opened by this biography is wide, its sweep inspiring as a deep breath of wine-sharp desert air. Here too is the tender and touching tale of Nino's mariage to his lovely "Golden Bird", daughter of a chief of the Tarahumari who sought refuge at Pa-Gotzin-Kay; the deep tragedy of her untimely death; the antics of the irrepressible centenarian Dee-O-Det; and hosts of other incidents, some tragic, many hilarious, and all deeply moving as they weave into the tapestry of this saga. ***In short, the reader will follow with delighted interest from the first page to the last the century-long saga of this wiry, tough-spirited native American, a unique and personal version of history.
