Philip Henry Sheridan

0/5 ( ratings)

Nelson Miles, General George Crook's successor, arrived at Fort Bowie in April 1886 to take command of the Department of Arizona and pursue the remaining band of renegade Chiricahua Apaches under Geronimo and Natchez . Captain Henry Lawton took charge of the actual pursuit with a cavalry and infantry force, including Apache trailers, that was to follow and engage the Indians to their redoubt in the almost impenetrable Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico.

General Miles and his correspondents, among them President Grover Cleveland , discuss the progress of the troops and the fate of the Indians, and reflect the political climate in Washington, D.C.

This material is organized in three parts: Part I contains correspondence, orders, and dispatches related to Geronimo's surrender and the terms thereof; Part II consists of extracts of annual reports submitted by the principal actors detailing the circumstances of the surrender; Part III details, through telegrams and other correspondence, the disposition of the Chiricahua and Warm Springs Apaches.
