Apache chief, Victorio, called his sister Lozen his wise counselor and his right hand.  He said  she had the strength of a man and was a shield to her people.  Even in a society possessing extraordinary courage, endurance and skill, she was unique.  The Apaches believe that when she was young, the spirits  blessed her with horse magic, the gift of healing and the power to see enemies at a distance.( She died of tuberculosis at the Mount Vernon Barracks in Mobile, Alabama).

Although polygamy had been a status symbol in his tribe, he had only one wife, with whom he had had five children. Three of his sons died in battle before him.

In presenting the story of this nineteenth-century Warm Springs Apache warrior, Kathleen P. Chamberlain expands our understanding of Victorio's role in the Apache wars and brings him into the center of events. Graced with historic photos of Victorio and other Apaches

He was considered by other Natives to be a powerful warrior, but a loving husband and father to his many children.

He never killed unless it was necessary, preferring to take captives and not kill the people. As a warrior he was a compassionate man.
