This book tells the story of Apache chief Cochise and settler Tom Jeffries, who together helped to create peace between the Apache and the white settlers. They became as close as brothers. This book is part of the Value Tales series and therefore has a definite agenda, pushing the value of honesty and how that creates trust. It's a good book for upper elementary. It may be a bit dated in its illustrations, as it's from the late '70s, but the story is still worth reading, and it includes a short biography of Cochise at the end.

very good with some fictional elements ( )
