Content only: Zane Grey considered himself 1/16th Indian as the Zane side of the family had married Indians in the 18th century. So he had a fondness for the red man and it shows in such works as The Vanishing American and others. Yaqui is the tale of that tribe of Indians and how they were mistreated by the Mexican government and removed from their tribal lands--the mountains of Mexico--and forced into the jungles causing many of them to die from the climate. It was Zane Grey's belief the Yaqui were descendants of the Aztecs. This tribe were made slaves and forced to work in the fields. There is one lieutenant, Perez, who is particularly harsh and sadistic and Yaqui plans his revenge on him, and that makes for one of the most dramatic and memorable endings there ever was to a story. You have to read it to believe it. Great story by Zane Grey.
