Seeking a humanitarian solution to raids by Navajo and Apache Indians, the Army in 1863 created the Bosque Redondo Reservation. This unique military experiment was aimed at assimilating the Indians into Anglo society. It was both success and failure on a grand scale. Gerald Thompson offers a thorough administrative history of the Bosque Redondo. The Army and the Navajo provides valuable new insights into the federal government's Indian policy of the mid-19th century. - Back cover.
