Publisher's Notes
The white man had burned their land, raped their women, and slaughtered their children. He had made them a nation of slaves, and those he could not enslave, he promised to destroy. The Apache had one hope: vengeance.Out of the scattered remnants of the Apache tribes rose a man whose cunning, ferocity, and genuis for warfare would make him their leader in a last tragic struggle for survival. The Apache gave him their arms, their strength, and their absolute devotion. The white man gave him his name: Geronimo!

Turn the Stars Upside Down
by Terry C. Johnston
The greatest war chief the Lakota people had ever known reluctantly leads his people into an uncertain future... The compelling and little-known story of Crazy Horse's surrender scant months after his last fight with the U.S. Army at Battle Butte, his futile attempts to find peace for his warrior heart among the reservation Indians, and his eventual undoing at the hands of his own Oglala people. For all his life this warrior has been a defender of the weak and helpless ones. But surrounded now on a tiny red island in a sea of white, he finds himself powerless against the forces arrayed against him in what will ultimately be his last battle, waged against deceptive army officers, and even against Oglala leaders who whisper, connive and conspire behind his back to bring about his fall. Even more disastrous will be those friends who once fought at his side against the encroaching white tide--friends who now turn against him, joining his enemies in their betrayal of this last great hero of the Lakota people. Terry C. Johnston, America's award-winning, best-selling frontier author, brings all his talent to bear on this tragic tale of betrayal with all the immediacy and emotion he has so skillfully portrayed in thirty previous novels. No story of the Indian Wars would be complete without this final episode in the short life of Crazy Horse, this story of betrayal...and the ultimate victory of the human spirit.
