Editorial Review Product Description Not all of Geronimo's comrades surrendered, however. A few dozenslipped into the mountains of Mexico, from which they launched raidson Mexican ranches and villages and were in turn hunted by federaltroops. Acting on reports of these Apaches' whereabouts, the Americananthropologist Grenville Goodwin journeyed deep into the Sierra Madrein 1930 to find these last "wild Apaches." He found considerableevidence, including a remote camp of several stone houses and brushshelters that had apparently been abandoned just before his arrival;surely, he said later, the Apaches had been aware of his everymovement. GrenvilleGoodwin, who kept extensive diaries on his expedition, died of abrain tumor in 1940, at the age of 33. His filmmaker son, NeilGoodwin, reproduces excepts from those diaries here, adding anaccount of his own travels along his father's trail. The combineddocument is a fascinating, if inconclusive, exercise in scholarlydetective work, rich in ethnographic information about a people thathas since disappeared. Joining such books as DavidRoberts's Once TheyMoved Like the Wind and Eve Ball'sIn the Days ofVictorio, The Diaries offers a noteworthy addition tothe popular literature on Apache culture. --Gregory McNamee Customer Reviews (1)
A vivid, original, fascinating and informative work. Later during that trip theChiricahuas conducted their holiest of rituals, the spellbinding crowndance.It begins with an immense leaping bonfire.There is a line ofdrummers and chanters.Shockingly, out of the darkness, come the dancers. They circle the fire wearing masks with high, antlerlike crowns, shortkilts, painted bodies, a thousand tiny bells, a sword in each hand - theyreel, hover, sway, and as they do, they become the mountain gods.Theassembled Apaches are witnessing the first crown dance held in thesemountains for a very long time.It is at long last a dance for thepeaceless dead, and it is overdue by a hundred years or more.

26. Wisdom Sits in Places: Landscape and Language Among the Western Apache by Keith H. Basso | |

Editorial Review Product Description Most of us use the term sense of place often and rather carelessly when we think of nature or home or literature. Our senses of place, however, come not only from our individual experiences but also from our cultures. Wisdom Sits in Places, the first sustained study of places and place-names by an anthropologist, explores place, places, and what they mean to a particular group of people, the Western Apache in Arizona. For more than thirty years, Keith Basso has been doing fieldwork among the Western Apache, and now he shares with us what he has learned of Apache place-names—where they come from and what they mean to Apaches. "This is indeed a brilliant exposition of landscape and language in the world of the Western Apache. But it is more than that. Keith Basso gives us to understand something about the sacred and indivisible nature of words and place. And this is a universal equation, a balance in the universe. Place may be the first of all concepts; it may be the oldest of all words."—N. Scott Momaday "In Wisdom Sits in Places Keith Basso lifts a veil on the most elemental poetry of human experience, which is the naming of the world. In so doing he invests his scholarship with that rarest of scholarly qualities: a sense of spiritual exploration. Through his clear eyes we glimpse the spirit of a remarkable people and their land, and when we look away, we see our own world afresh."—William deBuys "A very exciting book—authoritative, fully informed, extremely thoughtful, and also engagingly written and a joy to read. Guiding us vividly among the landscapes and related story-tellings of the Western Apache, Basso explores in a highly readable way the role of language in the complex but compelling theme of a people's attachment to place. An important book by an eminent scholar."—Alvin M. Josephy, Jr. Customer Reviews (13)

Editorial Review Product Description Ingstad traveled to Canada, where he lived as a trapper for four years with the Chipewyan Indians. The Chipewyans told him tales about people from their tribe who traveled south, never to return. He decided to go south to find the descendants of his Chipewyan friends and determine if they had similar stories. In 1936 Ingstad arrived in the White Mountains and worked as a cowboy with the Apaches. His hunch about the Apaches’ northern origins was confirmed by their stories, but the elders also told him about another group of Apaches who had fled from the reservation and were living in the Sierra Madres in Mexico. Ingstad launched an expedition on horseback to find these “lost” people, hoping to record more tales of their possible northern origin but also to document traditions and knowledge that might have been lost among the Apaches living on the reservation. Through Ingstad’s keen and observant eyes, we catch unforgettable glimpses of the landscape and inhabitants of the southwestern borderlands as he and his Apache companions, including one of Geronimo’s warriors, embark on a dangerous quest to find the elusive Sierra Madre Apaches. The Apache Indians is a powerful echo of a past that has now become a myth. Customer Reviews (2)
