Description
Despite the significant role they have played in Texas history for nearly four hundred years, the Lipan Apaches remain among the least studied and least understood tribal groups in the West. Thomas Britten has scoured U.S. and Mexican archives in order to piece together the tangled tribal history of these adaptable people. The result is an interdisciplinary study that focuses on their history and culture, their relationships with a wide range of Indian and non-Indian peoples, and their responses to the crises and burdens that seemed to follow them wherever they went.
