Summary: An understanding and appreciation of Geronimo's spirituality
Comment: Reading THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE prompted me to find other Forrest Carter works. Through Amazon, I discovered the Josey Wales books (terrific). References to Geronimo in those books peaked my interest about this fascinating historical figure, so I ordered WATCH FOR ME ON THE MOUNTAIN. It did not disappoint. Though Carter takes liberties with the story by including personal details about Geronimo which he could not know--thus making it a fictional work--there is a symmetry in his use of history and folklore which is captivating. He tells a great story, and if you are the least bit interested in the spirituality and mysticism that defined this man's life, you will find this book fascinating. Geronimo lived between the earthly and spiritual worlds, giving him great powers which he used to enable the Apache to ward off slavery and death,against huge odds, for twenty years longer than seemed possible. Moving, sad and inspiring, this book brings about heightened appreciation for Native American spirituality and resillency.

Summary: Consider it a Biography
Comment: Regardless of all the hype behind Forrest Carter, his background and his politics, he remains one of my personal favorite authors. I like to consider this particular book as the definitive biography on Geronimo, although it is listed as fiction. His genius of warfare was astounding. It makes one realize that the Apache Nation was not a nation of warriors arbitrarily. In fact, they protected the southern border, along with all the other nations, from infiltration from foreigners for generations. Had the Apaches been on the east coast of this nation in the 18th century, this might still be a native land.....

Summary: Forrest Carter is an excellent storyteller
Comment: This book just grabs you from the moment you open it and you cannot put it down. I don't know when I've read a book that left such a lasting impression. You get a completely different perspective of "how the West was won". You feel as if you are there walking beside our Native Americans of the past and seeing through their eyes. Geronimo comes alive as the story unfolds. Awesome!
