Fort Bowie, Arizona Territory, in 1886. Located near famed Apache Springs in Apache Pass, Fort Bowie was the nerve center for the operations of Generals Crook and Miles against Geronimo in 1885–86. It also figured importantly in Apache affairs from 1862 until 1886. The fort was abandoned in 1894. (Courtesy Arizona Historical Society)
Chief Chatto, one of the most accomplished and destructive Chiricahua raiders until he settled on the White Mountain Reservation following General Crook’s Sierra Madre campaign of 1883. He chose the white man’s way as the best and served as a skilled first sergeant of Apache scouts during the final campaigns against Geronimo. His reward was betrayal by the government and twenty-seven years as a prisoner of war. (Courtesy Arizona Historical Society)
