All Sandy knew that Punch had no other rider than pretty Angela Wren. keywords: angela; apache; arnold; blakely; byrne; captain; captain wren; chapter; colonel; coming; commander; cutler; day; days; door; downs; elise; eyes; face; father; girl; good; graham; guard; half; hand; heard; indian; janet; left; lieutenant; major; man; men; miss; moment; mrs; mullins; natzie; night; officer; plume; post; quarters; room; sanders; sandy; sergeant; sir; soldier; thought; time; troop; voice; way; white; wife; woman; wren; young cache: 19330.txt plain text: 19330.txt item: #2 of 10 id: 19928 author: King, Charles title: Sunset Pass; or, Running the Gauntlet Through Apache Land date: None words: 30632 flesch: 84 summary: He could not bear the idea of spending something like a thousand dollars in taking himself, little Ned and Nellie, and their devoted old nurse, Irish Kate, by that long and expensive route. Pike moved out to the edge of the timber, where he could hear the last of it--a big anxiety welling up in his heart and a world of responsibility with it; but he clutched his carbine the more firmly and gave a backward glance, his face softening as his eyes fell upon the wagon where little Ned and Nell lay sleeping, and darkening with menace and suspicion as he took one swift look at Manuelito, cowering there over the fire. keywords: apaches; captain; cave; coming; eyes; fire; gwynne; half; indians; jim; kate; manuelito; mules; ned; pass; pike; right; road; rock; time; trail; wagon; watch; way cache: 19928.txt plain text: 19928.txt item: #3 of 10 id: 23487 author: King, Charles title: Tonio, Son of the Sierras: A Story of the Apache War date: None words: 90219 flesch: 77 summary: There, all alone, was Willett, writing, and to Willett Archer told the message of the feather, and of Harris's eagerness to find 'Tonio at once.

PREFACE The initial idea of the compilation of this work was to give the reading public an authentic record of the private life of the Apache Indians, and to extend to Geronimo as a prisoner of war the courtesy due any captive, _i. e._, the right to state the causes which impelled him in his opposition to our civilization and laws. keywords: apache; arizona; camp; cattle; chief; children; day; days; fight; fort; general; geronimo; horses; indians; men; mexicans; mexico; miles; mountains; people; place; soldiers; states; time; treaty; tribe; troops; united; warriors; white cache: 31318.txt plain text: 31318.txt item: #6 of 10 id: 31421 author: Ellis, Edward Sylvester title: Through Apache Land date: None words: 63249 flesch: 78 summary: The money with which the soldiers at Fort Havens and several other posts were paid came down by express from Sante Fe over this road, in charge of a proper escort, and the coach which started from that city with little Ned Chadmund carried also one hundred thousand dollars in crisp, crackling greenbacks stowed away in the bottom of the vehicle. Is there much show for ever saving the skulp of little Ned?
