O autorze

John Gregory Bourke (1846–1896) was a distinguished American soldier and ethnographer, whose contributions to the understanding of Native American cultures remain significant. Born on June 23, 1846, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Bourke served as an officer in the United States Army and was an aide to General George Crook during the Apache Wars. His close work with General Crook provided him with the unique opportunity to observe and document the life and customs of the Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest. Bourke’s scholarly inclinations led him to pen 'An Apache Campaign in the Sierra Madre’ (1886), a detailed account of a military expedition against the Apache tribe. In this work, Bourke combined his military experience with ethnographic inquiry, offering insights into Apache society and interactions with the U.S. military. His writing style, characterized by meticulous documentation and an empathetic portrayal of Native American cultures, contributed to his standing as an important figure in the early anthropology of the American West. Posthumously, Bourke’s contributions have been recognized by anthropologists and historians alike, who regard his works as foundational texts for the study of the American Indian way of life during a period of significant cultural and historical change.
