"Scouting for the Bluecoats examines the important role that Navajos played in military operations during the last quarter of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Unlike the famous Navajo code talkers of World War II, little has been written about these men who served in some of the most challenging and noteworthy struggles against the Apaches. Until now, their story has been forgotten. Navajo skills in understanding and tracking a wily foe across an inhospitable landscape proved to be essential elements in ending the Apache wars. For those interested in the recruitment and deployment of the scouts, measures taken to counter enemy tactics, and the challenge of obtaining recognition for their service, this book is an invaluable source and a must-read for any serious scholar of Navajo history."
—Ronald P. Maldonado, Tribal historic preservation officer (retired), Navajo Nation

Recenzii
"If scholars are ever going to understand why the scouts fought, what they did, and why they matter, research will have to be done on a tribal level, as McPherson has successfully done here. His book helps us understand an overlooked history." —The Journal of the Civil War Era
