This is the autobiography of an Apache Indian who has been virtually a part of the Stone Age and the Atomic Era. As a boy Jason Betzinez hunted with bow and arrow within sight of the New Mexico flats where, eighty years later, the first atomic blast was fired. As savages he and his tribe fought their enemies through deserts and mountains where giant missiles are tested today. Now nearly a hundred years old Jason has been, successively, on the warpath with his cousin and lifelong associate, Geronimo, the " Human Tiger " of the southwestern frontier; a prisoner of war in a ancient Spanish fort in Florida; a student at the Carlisle Indian School; a steelworker in Pennsylvania, and a blacksmith and farmer in Oklahoma.
