### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Full of rich detail and little-known historical facts
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 6, 2022*

Great detail into the life of Al Sieber and his work.  Excellent history of US Army campaigns against the Apaches.  However, with the fine-grain detail provided a good number of maps of the locales are necessary and  would have been very helpful

    A Very Disappointing and Deceptive Title For This Book
  

*by P***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2019*

This book is titled, "Al Sieber Chief of Scouts". So a reader would expect in the 420 pages to learn a great deal about this man. The title is a great deception as the reader will learn very little about Al Sieber as Chief of Scouts.  Dan L. Thrapp's book on Al Sieber is sorely lacking in giving an account of the actual experiences of this famous scout. Instead this author details Sieber's life as a scout with such generalities as, "He was there or he was here or maybe he was there". Add to that Thrapp's personal description of actual events with, "It's possible that or it might have happened etc. etc." He wasn't there and does not know what might have possibly happened. This book was a very hard read for several reasons. First, in over 400 pages everything related to Al Sieber as a "scout" probably would not have taken more than a dozen pages. The remainder of 300 plus pages deals with nearly every person, place or thing at the time Sieber was a "scout". I'm not interested for example, of reading about some army Captain's life. Where this and that person grew up or who they were married to or when they graduated from West Point and their career during the Civil War.If you want to learn about Al Sieber as a scout and what the man was actually like, there are other more informative books. A very good book that details Sieber's life as a scout is, "Life of Tom Horn, Government Scout and Interpreter" written by Tom Horn. He was there with Al Sieber and in great detail describes who and what Al Sieber was like as a scout and as a person. There is far more information on Sieber in Horn's book than you will ever find in the 420 pages of Thrapp's deceptively titled book. It is also worth noting when Thrapp mentions Horn's name in this book, there is almost always a footnote by this author with some disparaging comment on Horn. Horn was there with Sieber. And it should also be noted Horn  became Chief of Scouts after Sieber.If this book was titled something like, "The Apache Wars And The People Who Fought It" I might give it Four Stars. But considering the actual deceptive title of this book and it's failure to deliver on the title it doesn't deserve One Star.

    great book
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 20, 2014*

Living in the Tonto Valley, and a native of Arizona, this book has been a treasure trove of history.  I know most of these locations, minus Mexico, and can attest to the accuracy of these areas.  Del Shay is but 10 or 12 air miles from my home.  I have viewed the Valley of Sieber's Del Shay valley, been to the Battle of Big Wash, Camp Verde, Ft. McDowell, Ft. Thomas, Ft. Lowell and lived in Cochise County and have ridden horse back through a lot of that country.The Apache of the times were certainly men of men, as was Sieber, and others.  The history is a tragic one in many ways, but it was history.I have been wanting to read this book for many years, but it had been out of publication and the books that were available were very expensive.  I was over joyed to see it on Kindle.  My friends have now read this important and well documented history book and enjoyed it as I have.The book is difficult to put down, I recommend it for those that want to read the history of the South West.
