Captured by the Navajos

Captured by the Navajos by Charles A. Curtis sweeps listeners into a gripping frontier adventure that blends historical detail with stirring Western fiction. Set in Civil War–era New Mexico, the story follows two young soldiers and their comrades as they confront Navajo traps, Pueblo encounters, Apache raids, and the harsh desert landscape.
