Tonio, Son of the Sierras: A Story of the Apache War is a historical fiction novel written by Charles King in 1906. The story follows Tonio, a young Apache boy who is captured by the US Army during the Apache Wars in the late 1800s. Tonio is taken from his family and brought to a military fort where he is forced to assimilate into American culture. Throughout the novel, Tonio struggles with his identity and the conflict between his Apache heritage and the new life he is forced to adopt. The story also explores the larger themes of the Apache Wars, including the clash of cultures between Native Americans and European settlers, as well as the brutality and violence of war.
