In an introductory note to the aforementioned Ballantine edition, Frederick W. Turner III notes that the famous warrior was a crafty prisoner: "It is interesting, however, that just as he was the supreme embodiment of the Chiricahua way of life, so he became a very shrewd capitalist when the white man way was forced upon him. In fact he took on all the trappings of the white man's civilization, becoming . . . a tireless promoter of himself, hawking photographs, bows, and arrows at various fairs and expositions. He was one Indian who exploited the exploiters better than they could him."
Now the disk jockey will play "Old Age and Treachery (will beat youth and skill every time)," Buffy St. Marie's "Universal Soldier," and Paul Revere and the Raiders' song "Indian Reservation." We have to go check to see if the Peace Pipe is still lit. Have a "fine day to die" type week.
