The San Carlos Apache Police

The New Mexico Historical Review, 1929 Book. Very fine. Soft cover. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Thin octavo. (18pp.). Frontis plate from a photograph. Gray wrappers printed in black, stapled as issued. A fine copy. First separate edition, first appearing in the New Mexico Historical Review, July, 1929. Excellent historical sketch of the Apache Indian police at the San Carlos Indian reservation. The author was Indian Agent at the San Carlos Apache Reservation in Arizona for three years beginning in 1874. He implemented a limited form of self-government on the reservation that was so successful that other reservations were closed and their residents moved to San Carlos. Clum was also the agent that captured Geronimo in April of 1877. Faced with many superior officers who strongly disagreed with his methods, and dogged by an uncaring Indian Bureau administration, Clum finally left his post as Indian Agent July 1, 1877. .
