THE WAR CHIEF™

An infant, Adny McDuff, is kidnapped by Apaches in a raid, and adopted by Geronimo and renamed Shoz-Dijiji, or Black Bear. Growing up as an Apache, Shoz-Dijiji falls in love with Ish-Kay-Nay, an Apache maiden, who, unfortunately, is coveted by another Apache chief, Juh. Burroughs’ great respect for the West and compassion for the Native American peoples in the face of exploitative treatment is manifested throughout this unique portrait of the American West.
