Produktbeschreibung

This work is an account of John C. Cremony's encounters with the Indians of the Southwest. Major John C. Cremony was an American soldier famous for creating the first dictionary of the Apache language. His first meeting with the Apache occurred in the early 1850s when he accompanied John R. Bartlett's boundary commission surveying the United States-Mexican border, and also ten years later, when he, as an officer of the California Volunteers, renewed his acquaintance, particularly with the Apaches, whom he came to know as few white Americans.

Autorenporträt

John Carey Cremony was an American author known for his work 'Life among the Apaches,' published in 1868, which serves as an important historical record of Native American culture, particularly the Apache people. His insights were informed by his experiences as an interpreter for the U.S. Boundary Commission during the Gadsden Purchase boundary survey, where his interactions with the Apache tribes provided him with a unique perspective that he would later chronicle in his book. Cremony's time with the Apaches allowed him to learn their language and customs, which enabled him to offer a detailed account of their society and relations with the United States' settlers and military. Although his writings may reflect the prejudices and attitudes of his time, they nonetheless represent a significant contribution to our understanding of Apache culture and history. His literary style often combined narrative storytelling with ethnographic description, capturing the complexities of cross-cultural encounters in the tumultuous landscapes of the American Southwest. 'Life among the Apaches' continues to be referenced by historians, anthropologists, and students of literature who study the narratives of the American frontier and the cultural intersection between indigenous tribes and European American settlers.
