He has published articles on Victorio, the Apaches and the US Army in Small Wars & Insurgencies, The New Mexico Historical Review, War in History, Southwestern Historical Quarterly and The Journal of Military History.

This tale of Victorio and Nana and their Chihenne Apaches as they
take on the might of the Ninth Cavalry is inspirational and
enthralling, and this book will go down in the annals of American
history as an account of their humiliation because of their
policies against the indigenous Indian peoples. * Books Monthly
