Why it’s on the list: Eve Ball’s collected Apache testimony — the Chiricahua and Warm Springs wars, exile and imprisonment, told by the people who were there and their descendants. The companion volume to In the Days of Victorio, and the place to read Victorio, Geronimo, Mangas Coloradas and Cochise from the Apache side.

Where I heard about it

• Debbie Lee — named in Part 2 of her four-part Catron County Centennial History, posted publicly by the Catron County Historical Society in April 2022. Part of a Catron County reading list I’ve been building — the county my family’s town sits in.
