Making Peace with Cochise: The 1872 Journal of Captain Joseph Alton Sladen by Edwin R. Sweeney. Hardcover. Excellent condition. 179 pages. 1997. 6" x 9". Sladen, a Civil War veteran and medical school graduate, had the good fortune to accompany Gen. Oliver Howard on his successful attempt to make peace with Cochise, the Apache leader who battled long against the U.S. government and white settlement in his territory. In addition to giving a narrative account of the trip, Sladen also uses the powers of observation honed in his medical training to describe life in the Apache camp.
