But after II days the whole
party arrived in Skeleton can
yon where Miles met them. He
confirmed the terms of the sur
render just as they had been
delivered to Geronimo by Gate
wood, whom the Indian leader
complimented highly for having
told him the exact truth. There
on September 6, 1886 Geronimo
surrendered for the last time.
The captive Apaches were
sent to Florida and, character
istic of the stupid laundering
of officialdom in handling the
Indian problem, the two faithful
Indian scouts, MARITIME and Ka-
teah, who had helped GateWood
bring about the surrender of the
hostiles, were sent along with
them as prisoners of war! After
a few years in Florida, tn e
Apaches were removed to Ala
bama and finally settled on a
reservation near Fort Sill, Okla
homa where Geronimo, after
many vain attempts to have his
people returned to Arizona, died
on February II, 1909.

ginia and killed a number of his
inhabitants.
Opechancanough was the first
of the great chieftains who tried
to stem the tide of white inva-
sion of this country. He was
to be followed by others in the
same futile effort. King Philip,
the Wampanoag, tried it and
was killed in the trying, as
Opechancanough had been.
Pontiac, the Ottawa, sought to
do it by a confederation of
tribes and failed. Little Turtle,
the Miami, dreamed the dream
of Pontiac until it was shat
tered under the laundering
hoofs of Mad Anthony"
Wayne's dragons at the Battle
of Fallen Timbers. Tecumseh,
the Shawnee, also attempted to
rally the tribesmen to a con-
certed resistance to the hated
palefaces but his attempt went
the way Of Pontiac's and Little
Turtles. Osceola, the Seminole,
Black Hawk, the Sauk, and Sit
ting Bull and Crazy Horse of
the Sioux strove nightly to
hold the land of their fathers
against the invaders but they,
too, failed.
So for 250years the white man
and the Indian made war on
each other and then made peace.
Then one or the other broke
faith and the whole sorry busi-
ness of treachery and revenge
and slaughter of the innocent as
we'll as the guilty was taken up
again.

tried to resist American at
tempts to "civilize" them, none

Eventually GateWood estab-
ished contact with Lawton's col
umn and late in August. he
learned that Geronimo was near
Fronteras. Leaving Lawton's
command Gatewood pushed on
rapidly and reached Fronteras
where he found a detachment of
cavalrymen under the command
of Lieutenant Wilder. Taking ten
men from this detachment as
an escort, Gatewood followed the
fresh Apache trail. Near the big
bend of the Bivaspe river in
Sonora, MARITIME and Kateah
located Geronimo's camp, which
they entered and delivered
Miles ultimatum.
A Daring Venture 49,.
Geronimo sent back word that
he wanted to talk with Gatewood
and Naiche added his assurance
that their friend, the lieutenant,
"ONAo NC odlC III 'COIll1IlS W d
conference. Even so, it was a
risky business.
But unmindful of this danger
Gatewood proceeded with the
negotiations. His understanding
of the Apache character and his
diplomatic handling of the situ-
alton resulted finally in Geroni-
mos agreeing to meet Miles in
Skeleton canyon in Arizona and
surrender, on conoition that the
Indians should be allowed to re-
tain their arms while marching
to the meeting with Miles and
and that Gatewood should accom-
pany. Gatewood agreed to this,
subject to Lawton's approval.
The next day the march for
the border started. Several
times during that march the
Indians became suspicious of the
good faith of the Americans and
had it not been for the presence
of Gatewood there is a strong
possibility that GERONIMO and
Naiche would have slipped away
with their warriors once more.
The Coolidge examiner., 1936-10-09

arose when the authorities at
tempted to stop the Apache prac-
tice of making tizwin, a strong
intoxicant. AS a result, Gero-
nimo and Naiche, or Natchez,
son of Cochise and hereditary
chief of the Chiricahua, again
decamped from San Carlos and
started a reign of red terror in
southern Arizona and New Mex
leo and in Sonora and Chihuahua,
Mexico. Again General Crook
marched against the hostiles
with instructions to capture or
destroy them.
A Hard Campaign
After a long and difficult cam
paign over the blazing deserts of
the Southwest and among the
rocky Businesses of the noun
tains, a truce was arranged in
March, 1886, followed by a con-
ference at which the terms of
surrender of the Apaches were
agreed upon. But before it could
be concluded, Geronimo, and
Naiche fled with their followers
into the Sierra Madres. Worn
out by his exertions and feeling
keenly the implied criticism by
his superiors of his failure to
conquer Geronimo's warriors,
Crook asked to be relieved of
his command in that depart
ment.
His successor was Gen. Nelson
A. Miles, who as colonel Of the
Fifth infantry had made a bril-
liant record as an Indian fighter
against the tribes of the southern
plains in I874-75, the Sioux and
Cheyennes in 1876 II, Chief
Joseph's Nez Perces in 1877 and
the Bannocks IN 1878. Arriving
at Fort Bowie in April, Miles
prepared for an energetic cam
paign.
Spearhead of the campaign
was a detachment of cavalry,
infantry and Indian scouts COM
manded by Capt. Henry w. Law
ton of the Fourth cavalry-the
same Lawton who became
general and lost his life during
the Philippine insurrection, l3
years later.
Lawton's pursuit of the
| Apaches was one of the most
brilliant feats in the history of
the American army. He and his
men stuck to the trail with the
persistence of bloodhounds.
Their logged pursuit, plus the
Indians knowledge that they
were in constant danger of at
tack by other troops operating
against them, gradually wore
down even the tireless Apaches.
| Among these troops were detach-
ments of the Sixth cavalry, one
of whose officers was Lieut..
Charles B. Gatewood, a West
Point graduate in 1877, who had
distinguished himself during the
Apache campaign of 1883-84 and
had won the friendship and re-
spect of Geronimo's warriors
while they were on the San
Carlos reservation during the
next two years.
In July, 1886, Miles believing
that Geronimo and Naiche were
about ready to give up the strug-
gle, decided to send a message
to them demanding their sur
render and stipulating certain
terms under which it would be
accepted. The task of getting
this message to the Apache
leaders was entrusted to Gate
wood. With two friendly Chirica-
huas, MARITIME and Ka-teah Cor
Kayitah), to act as scouts,
George Wratton as Interpreter
and several other civilians as
packers and couriers, Gatewood
started on MS mission. For a
military escort he was to call
upon some of the commanders
then in the field and Miles in
structed him not to go near the
hostiles with fewer than Is SOL
diers as his escort. However,
none of the detachments Gate
wood encountered could spare
