    About this ebook

    Some call her the Apache Joan of Arc.

    For more than a century, Apaches have kept alive the memory of their hero Lozen. Lozen, valiant warrior, revered shaman, and beautiful woman, fought alongside Geronimo, Cochise, and Victorio, holding out against the armies of both the United States and Mexico.

    Here, at last, is her compelling story, set in the last half of the nineteenth century. Orphaned sister of Victorio, Lozen has known since childhood that the spirits have chosen her to defend Apache freedom. As the U.S. army prepares to move her people to an Arizona reservation, Lozen forsakes marriage and motherhood to fight among the men. Supported by her brother and the other chiefs, Lozen proves her mettle as a soldier, reconnaissance scout, and peerless military strategist.

    Rafe Collins is a young adventurer and veteran of the Mexican War. On a dangerous journey between El Paso and Santa Fe, he builds an unlikely but enduring rapport with the Warm Spring Apaches. When his bond to Lozen goes far beyond friendship, he must undertake a perilous course that will change his life forever.

    A sensitive treatment of a little-known Native American figure, Ghost Warrior is a rich and powerful frontier tale with unforgettable characters.

    • 4/5
      Defying Apache tradition, Lozen declines marriage offers to train as a warrior and shaman. She is her brother's right hand throughout his leadership and is a respected member of councils even after his death. From her girlhood on her people's land in New Mexico to her death at a reservation in the swamps of Florida, it's continual atrocity (on both sides) between the indigenous tribes (stealing) and the US government/business interests/settlers (lying) [widespread brutal murder], with a brief recess during the Civil War. Have a serious crush on Rafe. Want more frontier historical fiction, preferably from Robson.
    • 5/5
      Robson writes a well researched novel about Lozen, known as the Apache Joan of Arc. Lozen didn't marry, she lived as a spiritual leader, healer and a warrior as she fought for decades with her brother Victorio to maintain their lands. For anyone sweltering in the dessert heat in 2012, imagine what it was like for the Native Americans who lived there before air conditioning, supermarkets, and cars. Robson shows how they lived, their love of laughter, their ribald joking, their love of stealing, and the enmity between them and the Mexicans. She doesn't hesitate to talk about the fact that Apaches, even the women, utilized torture against their enemies. She also details the chain of mendacity, deceit, greed and incompetence perpetrated by representatives of the US government as they made and broke treaties with the Native Americans, enticed them to and moved them from reservation to reservation, and killed, starved and froze the people they were supposed to be helping.
