Yet in the autumn of 1872, Brigadier General Oliver O. Howard and his  aid-de-camp, Lieutenant Joseph Alton Sladen, entered Arizona's rocky  Dragoon Mountains in search of the elusive Chiricahua Apache chief.  Accompanied only by a guide and two Apache scouts, they sought to  convince Cochise that the bloody fighting between his people and the  Americans must stop. Cochise had already reached that conclusion, but he  had found no American official he could trust.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlade, Howard's devoted aide, maintained a journal during their  two-month quest from Fort Tularosa, New Mexico, to Cochise's stronghold.  Joseph Sladen's journal - enriched by Edwin R. Sweeney's introduction,  epilogue, and lively notes - is a unique source on Chiricahua lifeways and  an engrossing tale of travel and adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52551740981528,"sku":"9780806139784","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/making-peace-with-cochise-the-1872-journal-of-captain-joseph-alton-sladen-paperback-softback-9780806139784","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
