Book Overview

Building A State In Apache Land is a book written by Charles D. Poston that explores the history of Arizona and the role of the Apache people in the development of the state. The book provides a detailed account of the struggles and conflicts between the Apache people and the American settlers who sought to establish their presence in the region. It also examines the political and economic factors that shaped the state, including the impact of mining and agriculture on the local economy. Throughout the book, Poston highlights the resilience and determination of the Apache people in the face of adversity, and their ongoing efforts to preserve their culture and way of life. Overall, Building A State In Apache Land is a compelling and informative read that sheds light on an important chapter in American history.Gabilonda, who was the only Mexican officer who protested against the massacre, came very near being mobbed by Americans in Tucson, although he was perfectly innocent of any crime, --on the contrary, deserved credit for his humanity in rescuing the boy Evans. Gabilonda was subsequently tried by a Mexican court martial organized by Pesquiera, the Governor of Sonora, and acquitted. He lived to a green old age as Collector of Mexican customs on the boundary line, and died honored and respected.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
