A great surprise from Burroughs and from 1927. This is unlike anything else I've read from ERB. It replaces the fantasy and imagination that made him famous with an unexpected authenticity and attention to detail. And both an anger and compassion. A very good early "red indian"...
Arizona Territory... the country of red deserts, rocks, high buttes and mountains--a harsh land but still a land, the Apaches had chosen for their own. The land made the men, and the Indians were trained from infancy to match their strength, their cunning, their hunting ability...

A white boy raised as an Apache. The story has been done quite a few times but this is a good one. Lots of action and adventure. I'm sometimes amazed at how well ERB could shift between an alien planet like Barsoom and an old West tale. The key is his constant focus on adventure...
