James L. Haley is an independent scholar living in Austin, Texas. He is the author of numerous books, including The Buffalo War: The History of the Red River Indian Uprising of 1874 and Apaches: A History and Culture Portrait (OU Press).
"Haley . . . claims not to be attempting to write history from the Apache viewpoint, noting that only Apaches can do that. Rather, the inclusion of sections on religion, folkways, social organization, and warfare, as told by Apaches, is aimed to blend history and ethnology, . . . to let the record speak for itself." Earl H. Elam, in American Indian Quarterly "Pathbreaking. . . . A book which must be examined thoroughly to be appreciated properly." Southwest Review "Haley's scholarship is sound, his handling of the Indian-white conflict is balanced. . . . Haley does quite as well at holding reader interest as . . . fictional portrayals of this warfare." Roy W. Meyer, in Annals of Iowa
