Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Here, at last, is the compelling story of Lozen, known as the Apache Joan of Arc. When the US Army tries to drive the Chiricahua Apaches from their homeland, Lozen fights alongside Cochise, Geronimo, and Victorio in defense of her people. Gifted with the power of far-sight that allows her to see enemies miles away, she becomes an extraordinary shaman, warrior, horse thief, and healer. For over one hundred years the Apaches have kept her memory alive.

A sensitive treatment of a little known Native American figure, Ghost Warrior is a rich and powerful frontier tale filled with unforgettable characters, the famous and the infamous.

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Wonderful Author
Any book by this author is worth a read. This is one of the really good ones.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Native American Indians
I've been very passionate about everything & anything that has to do with Native American Indians since I can remember.
This book by Lucia St. Clair Robson is another wonderful story about them, about their life and about a great woman. I couldn't put the book down, I would stay up & read till 2am having to have to wake up at 5:30am and go to work... I gave it 5 stars only because it is the highest you can go. The book simply deserves more stars!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Apaches and Atrocities
I can't say I enjoyed this book, as it's difficult to "enjoy" a book that is mostly about the near genocide of a terrifying and brutal yet complex and culturally rich group of people. Still, I'm glad I read it. I suspect, like Robson's other book I've read, Ride the Wind, bits of Ghost Warrior will come back to haunt me as I continue to mull it over. My only criticism is that I found it very difficult to keep track of the never-ending parade of Pale Eyes (white men) officers, generals, and enlisted men. But my guess is that that was her point. There WAS a continuous and constant influx of white men in such numbers that it was difficult to keep track of them as individuals. My biggest "bravo!" to Robson is that she doesn't pull punches. The Apaches are not the "noble savages" that so many books make them out to be. They are people - flawed and complex and violent, and just as capable as the Pale Eyes at handing out brutal death. All in all, it's a book worth reading. If you like this book, I recommend reading Ride the Wind, also by Lucia St. Clair Robson.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Another fine Native American novel
Ms. Robson's meticulous research and attention to historical accuracy is again evident in this excellent and heartbreaking story of the Native American people. If you haven't read "Walk in My Soul" or "Ride the Wind" - what are you waiting for? Once you've read one of Ms. Robson's novels you'll want to collect them all.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Big Disappointment
Robson's Ride the Wind was one of my all-time favorite books so when this book was released I snatched it up. It was hard to get into but I was persistant and kept waiting for the book to meet my expectations. Unfortunately, there was no turning point. I just trudged through this book. Read the editorial review from Publishing house's Weekly. It is right on, saying that the story is "watered-down" and "lacking energy." I hope this review spares someone from wasting their time and money on this book.
