“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
“A thesis driven book backed by detailed narratives.”—Wayne E. Lee, America Historical Review
“This revisionist approach is applicable to border areas around the world, as well as any place where violence is endemic.”—J. A. Stuntz, Choice
