EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
enlisted in the 7th Cavalry and saw active service in the Apache country of Southern Arizona. Knowing the country and its people, and endowed with a fertile imagination, Burroughs was able to see the great Indian wars from the Indian point-of-view.

He wrote two books on the subject--THE WAR CHIEF, and APACHE DEVIL. The first of these tells of the bitterly harsh rearing of a boy in the Apache tradition, a white boy who became known as Shoz-Dijiji, the Black Bear, adopted son of Geronimo, with a venomous hatred for all whites: Shoz-Dijiji who, in time, becomes a great war chief--like his dreaded stepfather.

The second book, APACHE DEVIL, takes the story of Shoz-Dijiji further, telling of his lifelong battle with the Pony Soldiers as he and Geronimo fight desperately to maintain life and dignity for their people; it tells also of the Black Bear's love for a white woman.
