The witch, also wounded, disappears into the dry plains across the Rio Grande, knowing the Apache he left bleeding in the sand will one day reappear. With the Army occupation ended Yellow Boy, Juanita, their new baby daughter, and his Mescalero band return to the reservation. Better days come with the arrival of a strong but fair Indian agent, W.H.H. Llewellyn, who the Mescaleros call "Tata Crooked Nose." Yellow Boy joins Llewellyn's tribal police, and for a time becomes an Army Scout participating in General Crook's Sierra Madre Campaign returning Apaches to the San Carlos Reservation. He finds and faces Blood of the Devil, but later loses his daughter to pneumonia sweeping the reservation. Warned of his destiny by Geronimo, he dreams of a young boy he will one day save from murder. Blood of the Devil, Book 2 of the Life and Times of Yellow Boy, Mescalero Apache, continues Killer of Witches's powerful story; truth told with fiction that transports the reader to a different background, culture, history, time, and religion. It is the other side of Apache history lived by a people fighting the tsunami of Americans migrating west and the terrors of their supernatural insights as their White Eye overseers attempt to change their culture"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Apache Indians $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mescalero Indians $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION $x Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Action & Adventure. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Apache Indians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00811055 650 7 $a Mescalero Indians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01017286 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Western fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726776 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Western fiction. $2 lcgft 800 1 $a Farmer, W.
