What we have is a story that will be of great interest to many, as much research went into this tale. There are those who will say this is pretty accurate and those who will accuse this story of racism. But in truth, Nanchez while ruthless, is fighting to keep his land and culture. The Apaches of that time fought for the right to survive, and I can greatly respect that. Without spoiling the story, though, we will see that not all Apache Warriors share Nanchez's torturous ways, and that there are good and bad in every group.
Life is stranger than fiction.
Geronimo had he honored his word to General Crook, could have saved his people from being deported from Arizona. The tragedy there is that the U.S. Congress deported all of the Chiricaua Apaches for the deeds of the few, as this has been accurately told by Lt. Britton Davis of the 3rd Cavalry. This had come when General Crook had received his second lie from Geronimo and his group who went back to murdering others as a way to keep what was rightfully theirs. Unfortunately our President Grover Cleveland decided to having nothing short of unconditional surrender. General Nelson A. Miles stepped in, and he hated Native Americans.
