The American Southwest

The Apache: Things Sure Did Look Like War


Listen Later

In May of 1885, Geronimo and over 140 Chiricahua Apaches broke out of the San Carlos Reservation in a final gasp of the long lasting Apache Wars of the American Southwest. For the next 16 months the US Army under Crook and then General Miles will hunt the renegades down through mountains, canyons, and deserts. Countless innocents, soldiers, and Chiricahuas will perish as the Army and their Apache Scouts chase the hostiles through New Mexico, Arizona, Sonora, and Chihuahua. Tom Horn, Al Sieber, General Crook, Bourke, Chihuahua, Nana, Naiche, and Geronimo feature heavily in this episode. As well as new players like Lawton, Crawford, and Davis. This episode is a frustrating and sad saga but it brings about the official end to my Apache Series.
This episode was originally a Subscriber only episode in my series over the Western legend Tom Horn but since he participated so heavily in ending the threat of Geronimo and his hostile renegades, I thought it would be a good final episode over the Apache Series for all listeners.
