4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Tom Jeffords: Friend of CochiseBy James F. DuganDoug Hocking has undertaken a very ambitious and, I'm sure, what must have been a very difficult task for an author of the biography of a historical person, Tom Jeffords. Jeffords is almost an unknown figure in America's history. Much on Jefford's early life is virually unknown and much of the information available to him is based on suppositions that it even involved 'the' Tom Jeffords who is the subject of this biography is questionable. As is stated at times in the introduction and early chapters, Jeffords was a very private individual who left very minimal written record of his doings at any time. It is not until we get to the chapters about Jefford's involvement with Cochise and the can we actually know that Tom Jeffords was there for we can find other accounts of his time as Indian Agent for the in pervious histories of that time. The author is to be congratulated for his attempt to put together the first full biography of the man portrayed in the movie and TV series, 'Broken Arrow' and the Elliott Arnold novel, 'Blood Brother'.The historical Tom Jeffords was a far cry from the way he was portrayed by actors and .1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

The first full-length biography of the Western legend Tom Jeffords, immortalized by Jimmy Stewart in 1950rsquo;s Broken Arrow. This book tells the true story of a man who headed West drawn by the lure of the Pikersquo;s Peak Gold Rush in 1858; made a life for himself over a decade as he scouted for the army, prospected, became a business man; then learned the language and rode alone into Cochisersquo;s camp in order to negotiate peaceful passage for his stagecoach company. In his search for the real story of Jeffords, Cochise, and the parts they played in mid-nineteenth century American history and politics, author Doug Hocking reveals that while the myths surrounding those events may have clouded the truth a bit, Jeffords was almost as brave and impressive as the legend had it.

About the AuthorDoug Hocking was born on Long Island and spent part of his youth in the whaling and sailing ports along the coast breathing in the sea air as Tom Jeffords did the Great Lakes air in Ashtabula. While still young, Doug was transplanted to the Jicarilla Apache Reservation in New Mexico where he grew up forming close friendships with Native Americans and Mexican Americans learning the peoples, cultures and terrain of the Southwest. Doug lives in southeast Arizona and has located and explored Tom Jeffordsrsquo;s homes and haunts.
