1861 — the United States was preparing for Civil War. As the Army was pulled back from the southwestern frontier, the Apache under the feared and respected Cochise took to the warpath …
Seven men left the village of Mesilla as guards for the Overland mail coach to Yuma. They got as far as Cook’s Canyon, when they met the main Apache raiding party, under the leadership of Cochise and Mangus Colorado. Four days later, the seven were dead ... but they had taken 185 killed and wounded Indian braves with them!
SEVEN BRAVE MEN is based on a true incident from the bloody history of the southwest.
The author of more than seventy books, Brian Garfield is one of USA’s most prolific writes of thrillers, westerns and other genre fiction. Raised in Arizona, Garfield found success at an early age, publishing his first novel when he was only eighteen – which, at the time, made him one of the youngest writers of Western novels in print.
A former ranch-hand, he is a student of Western and Southwestern history, an expert on guns, and a sports car enthusiast. After time in the Army, a few years touring with a jazz band, and a Master's Degree from the University of Arizona, he settled into writing full time.
Garfield is a past president of the Mystery Writers of America and the Western Writers of America, and the only author to have held both offices. Nineteen of his novels have been made into films, including Death Wish (1972), The Last Hard Men (1976) and Hopscotch (1975), for which he wrote the screenplay.
To date, his novels have sold over twenty million copies worldwide. Brian Garfield died on December 29 2018. He and his wife lived in California.
