Ulzana

Witness the birth of an American Indian Hero.

This is historical fiction, but Ulzana was an actual person, the brother of Chihuahua, a Chiricahua sub-chief. The Apache life-way in this story is presented the way it was actually lived—the way Ulzana really experienced it. If you want to understand what the Apaches became in terms of what they experienced, this is the book for you.

Not only is this Ulzana’s story, it’s also the story of the Cho-ken-en (Chiricahua Apaches), their eventual surrender to the U.S. Army and the Shis-Inday (Apache) betrayal by the American government.

Born during a time of war and conflict, Ulzana's life is shaped by his loyalty to his people and his duty to protect his land. Witness the courage and determination of this Indian hero as he faces impossible odds, and experience the joys and sorrows of his remarkable journey. Here are all the heroes and villains, both Indian and white, as they lived, bled, and died.

Ulzana has won the Book of the Year Award from The Council for Wisconsin Writers and The Border Regional Library Association Award for literary excellence and enrichment of the cultural heritage of the Southwest.
