The Last Hundred

A Novel of the Apache Wars

Nineteen-twenties Mexico and the American Southwest hold many dangers, as the last Apache strongholds persist against the foreign invaders.

Hard-as-nails Confederate serviceman Jock MacNeil receives an unexpected invitation to guide runaways from a reservation to a stronghold in Sierra Madre.

Facing both Mexican and American authorities, and the Apache Wars raging around them, Jock witnesses first-hand the terrors of war, and his own transformation from a man of faith to Apache spirituality.

a great listen

Ellis tells a compelling story of a restless, 19th venture Scottish soul, Jock McNeil, who, drawn by the cause of the underdog, finds himself part of Stand Watie’s (Google it!) group of Cherokees fighting on behalf of the Confederacy in the American Civil War. This is a fascinating story that transcends time, and Jim Ellis’ non-linear approach is deftly, if not masterfully handled by Tim Tidball.
