Publisher Description
This is a fictionalized account of events that transpired in the Arizona Territory between 1859 and 1872. I based the story upon historical tradition: part truth, part myth, part legend. Many of its characters and images are imaginary. On the other hand, certain incidents and characters are legend in the annals of southwest history. I realize I have probably taken a good many liberties in my portrayal of Cochise, but then again perhaps not. Thinking it over, I believe Cochise was capable of fulfilling the situations and events I have described in "The Desert Rose."
Customer Reviews
The Desert Rose
I found this novel very entertaining and captivating. To me it was more a wonderful love story between Cochise, the Apache Chief in Arizona and his beautiful "Desert Rose" who transplanted from the East. As I understand it the meeting depicted in the novel between Cochise and Us Army with dire consequences actually occurred. I would give the novel a 4-41/2. Two more things are that the author has recently written a sequel to the Desert Rose , and he is even making a re- write of The Desert Rose.
