Benjamin Gastellum Apache Tears

Annotation

The AcuAas . . . a Spanish ranching family who have fought for decades to keep their land grant despite the harsh realities of the fickle desert weather and marauding bands of renegade Apaches and greedy Americans who covet their land for themselves. The Apaches . . . Geronimo, Cochise, Eskiminzin . . . are fighting to the death to keep their native lands and fading way of life in the turmoil of western expansion known as Manifest Destiny. The clash of three cultures . . . Spanish, Apache and Anglo . . . creates a thrilling tale of survival of the fittest; terror as the result of endless warfare; selfish greed for what others possess; overcoming terrific odds to maintain life in the brutal and unforgiving but beautiful land of the American Southwest.
