They were as much a part of the landscape as mesquite trees or cactus and proved just as deadly to their enemies as the rattlesnakes coiled among the rocks. Modern borderland residents are left with only a few vague rumors of their past presence and even scholars fail to credit the tribe's impact on the history of the region. \u003cbr\u003eThe historical record is replete with examples of what the Lipans did; now it is time to discover the why. The story of the history of the Lipan Apaches is a tale of survival and preservation in the face of incredible challenges. Time and again, the Lipan Apaches were able to overcome obstacles and turn them to the tribe's advantage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy McGown Minor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0761848584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780761848585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Nancy McGown Minor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45265000562943,"sku":"9780761848585","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8150491-9827-4619-8018-4c008d9351f8.jpg?v=1713419864","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/turning-adversity-to-advantage-nancy-mcgown-minor-9780761848585","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
