The Oatman Massacre: A Book Review

SouthernArizonaGuide.com
Olive Oatman

Last month we traveled to Oatman, AZ for a day trip from Wickenburg. There, we ate lunch, petted the burros, toured the old town and left. Before arriving in Oatman, I had a transient understanding of the Oatman Massacre and the captivity of Olive Oatman, the family’s 13-year-old daughter. She … Continue reading

“Don’t Let The Sun Step Over You”: A White Mountain Apache Book

SouthernArizonaGuide.com
Don't Let the Sun Step Over You

A great deal has been written about Chiricahua Apaches, probably because they so completely terrorized settlers for a quarter century (1861-1886) and were the last Native American tribe to surrender to the United States government. However, most of these books were written by Anglos. No matter how diligent the authors’ … Continue reading
