Product Description
For more than a century, Apaches have kept alive the memory of their hero Lozen. Lozen, valiant warrior, revered shaman, and beautiful woman, fought alongside Geronimo, Cochise, and Victorio, holding out against the armies of both the United States and Mexico.
Here, at last, is her compelling story, set in the last half of the nineteenth century. Orphaned sister of Victorio, Lozen has known since childhood that the spirits have chosen her to defend Apache freedom. As the U.S. army prepares to move her people to an Arizona reservation, Lozen forsakes marriage and motherhood to fight among the men. Supported by her brother and the other chiefs, Lozen proves her mettle as a soldier, reconnaissance scout, and peerless military strategist.
Rafe Collins is a young adventurer and veteran of the Mexican War. On a dangerous journey between El Paso and Santa Fe, he builds an unlikely but enduring rapport with the Warm Springs Apaches. When his bond to Lozen goes far beyond friendship, he must undertake a perilous course that will change his life forever.
A sensitive treatment of a little-known Native American figure, Ghost Warrior is a rich and powerful frontier tale filled with unforgettable characters.

Wonderful Author October 2, 2007 LADARLA KEITH (Texas) Any book by this author is worth a read. This is one of the really good ones.
Native American Indians September 29, 2006 Charlotte Bronte (Jungle) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been very passionate about everything & anything that has to do with Native American Indians since I can remember.
This book by Lucia St. Clair Robson is another wonderful story about them, about their life and about a great woman. I couldn't put the book down, I would stay up & read till 2am having to have to wake up at 5:30am and go to work... I gave it 5 stars only because it is the highest you can go. The book simply deserves more stars!
Apaches and Atrocities August 1, 2005 msotherden 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I can't say I enjoyed this book, as it's difficult to "enjoy" a book that is mostly about the near genocide of a terrifying and brutal yet complex and culturally rich group of people. Still, I'm glad I read it. I suspect, like Robson's other book I've read, Ride the Wind, bits of Ghost Warrior will come back to haunt me as I continue to mull it over. My only criticism is that I found it very difficult to keep track of the never-ending parade of Pale Eyes (white men) officers, generals, and enlisted men. But my guess is that that was her point. There WAS a continuous and constant influx of white men in such numbers that it was difficult to keep track of them as individuals. My biggest "bravo!" to Robson is that she doesn't pull punches. The Apaches are not the "noble savages" that so many books make them out to be. They are people - flawed and complex and violent, and just as capable as the Pale Eyes at handing out brutal death. All in all, it's a book worth reading. If you like this book, I recommend reading Ride the Wind, also by Lucia St. Clair Robson.
Another fine Native American novel August 13, 2004 Fruit Loop (Down South) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Ms. Robson's meticulous research and attention to historical accuracy is again evident in this excellent and heartbreaking story of the Native American people. If you haven't read "Walk in My Soul" or "Ride the Wind" - what are you waiting for? Once you've read one of Ms. Robson's novels you'll want to collect them all.
Big Disappointment October 9, 2003 Cara Cragun (San Clemente, California) 8 out of 12 found this review helpful
Robson's Ride the Wind was one of my all-time favorite books so when this book was released I snatched it up. It was hard to get into but I was persistant and kept waiting for the book to meet my expectations. Unfortunately, there was no turning point. I just trudged through this book. Read the editorial review from Publisher's Weekly. It is right on, saying that the story is "watered-down" and "lacking energy." I hope this review spares someone from wasting their time and money on this book.
