{"product_id":"2940151051712","title":"An Apache Campaign in the Sierra Madre: 1883 (Expanded, Annotated)","description":"John G. Bourke was one of the preeminent scholars of Native-American life in the 19th century. He was a soldier, a Medal of Honor recipient, an ethnographer, aide to General George Crook, and a friend of Indians. Like Crook, Bourke was outspoken and felt the \"system\" set up to deal with native peoples was not much of a system at all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet like most of his contemporaries in the military, he was an instrument of the policy he felt was broken. In this lively and fascinating account of the pursuit of Geronimo and others in 1883, Bourke drew on his diary of the campaign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBourke has long been cited as a source on Native-American studies and none other than Sigmund Freud wrote the preface for the 1913 edition of Bourke's \"Scatalogic Rites of All Nations.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA prolific writer, Bourke died a young man but left an astonishing legacy of scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery memoir of the American West provides us with another view of the movement that changed the country forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.","brand":"Big Byte Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080465924336,"sku":"2940151051712","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151051712_p0.jpg?v=1764007005","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151051712","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
