Tom Horn (1) (1860–1903)

Some have panned this book as a self-serving autobiography and then proceed to quote it extensively in their own book. I admit to enjoying the book and feel as though I've learned a great deal about a very interesting time -- the Apache Wars and ultimately the surrender of Geronimo -- in the history of the United State.

Tom Horn (1860-1903) had an interesting, albeit short life as an Indian scout, Interpreter (he was fluent in Spanish and Apache), participant in the Spanish-American War, Pinkerton Detective, and ultimately a person found guilty of murder, which lead to him being hanged until death.

The book, written by the author, was penned while he awaited his execution in prison at Cheyenne, Wyoming, is primarily about the time he served as an Indian Scout and Interpreter, roughly 1874-1886.

I obtained my PDF copy of the book on the Internet and was able to download it at no charge. I am very glad to have read it.… (mehr)
