Girl Called Tommie: Queen of Marco Island
I was thrilled to find this in my study of Arizona history. It's so unusual to find primary source material geared toward children.
The best parts are General Howard's tales of his own experience. His story of Cochise--and the personal risks both men took to bring an end to the Apache wars--is riveting and touching.
It's clear that General Howard had such success negotiating with the tribes he was sent to due to his personal trustworthiness and genuine respect for all people. But it may require a bit of discussion or editing for young readers. While the author doesn't have racist intent, he does use some terms (like "half-breed" or "red men") that are no longer appropriate.
