“At a time when western historians have rediscovered the borderlands to great effect, Chiricahua and Janos presents a valuable new framework for thinking about Spanish-Indian relations in the American Southwest. It is a substantial contribution to the fields of Borderlands and Native American history.”—Karl Jacoby, author of Shadows at Dawn: A Borderlands Massacre and the Violence of History
“Blyth is concerned with the nexus of violence and cultural relations and, similarly, has a keen eye for Indians’ perspectives….Blyth has given us another example of the violent peace that cultural differences and local goals can produce.”
