A Time in the Sun, first published in 1962, is a classic, fictional account of the Indian wars in the the Arizona Territory, and told from the point-of-view of both the Apache and the white settlers. Based on the author's extensive research, most of the Apache chiefs and some of the Americans who figure in the book are historical personages. The story centers on a young woman, Anna Stillman, who was on her way to Tucson to marry Lieutenant Linus Degnan, the son of the commandant of the U.S. fort there, when she was captured by an Apache raiding party. It was 1870, and the Apaches were making a fierce last stand against the white men who were driving them from their land. The novel continues with efforts to rescue Anna and the woman's changing feelings towards the Apache over time.
