The Apache Woman Who Fought Beside Geronimo — And The Forgotten Story Of Lozen, The Warrior History Almost Forgot
The name that outsiders knew an individual by was often not the name used within the community.
The accounts collected by Eve Ball and others use “Lozen” as the name for the woman who was Victorio’s sister and who is the subject of this account.
This name has become the standard reference in historical and popular literature.
Whether this was the name she was most commonly known by within her own community, or whether it was one of several names associated with her, or whether it was a name given in a specific context, is not entirely clear from the available accounts.
This uncertainty is not merely academic.
