Dumpfer Hufschlag. Das Trommeln eines monotonen Todesmarsches. Zum ersten Mal ritt ich in einem richtigen Angriff der Apachen mit. Ich stieß lautes Kriegsgeschrei aus, wie die Krieger neben mir. Ich war ein Apache. Ich kämpfte für mein Land. Für meine Freiheit. Für unsere Art zu leben. Plötzlich traf mich eine Kugel und riss mich aus dem Sattel. Ich stürzte zu Boden. Das Tagebuch eines Mannes, für den Blut, Leid und Verzweiflung zum Alltag geworden waren.

Schussdetonationen rissen mich hoch. Von Westen jagten die mexikanischen Skalpjäger heran. Die Einschläge ihrer Kugeln wirbelten rechts und links von mir Staub auf.

Wäre nicht mein blondes Haar gewesen, hätte man mich nicht von ihnen unterscheiden können. Ich war jetzt einer der Ihren. Ich hatte für sie gekämpft. Entweder überleben oder zusammen sterben.

Die Stimme von Cochise klang düster. "Ich habe immer Frieden gewollt. Die Leute von San Vincente aber wollen Kampf. Sie sollen ihn haben." Auf den Dächern der Adobebauten tauchten Männer mit Gewehren auf. Wir griffen ungeachtet des Kugelhagels an. Unser Kriegsgeschrei ließ die Luft erzittern. Im Kirchturm läutete die Glocke. Wir galoppierten durch die Hauptstraße. Das peitschende Stakkato der Schussdetonationen, unsere grellen Schreie und das dumpfe Hämmern der Pferdehufe wurden zu einer grauenvollen Melodie der Vernichtung und des Todes. Die Apachen kämpfen um ihr Land. Ronco reitet mit ihnen.
