The Apache Woman Who Fought Beside Geronimo — And The Forgotten Story Of Lozen, The Warrior History Almost Forgot
The question of why Lozen was overlooked by history for so long has multiple answers, and none of them are accidental.
The first answer is structural.
The historical record of the Apache Wars was created by people who were not paying attention to Lozen.
The Army’s documents tracked military outcomes, not the biographies of enemy fighters.
The newspapers that covered the Apache Wars were writing for audiences that wanted stories of conquest and subjugation, not detailed accounts of the people being conquered.
The government administrators who managed the Apache after the wars were focused on confinement and cultural transformation, not preservation of Apache history.
