After Apache chief Geronimo escaped General George Crook and fled to
Mexico in 1876, he and his followers led raids against American settlers
in the Southwest for the next ten years.  In 1886, Crook finally convinced
them to meet in a conference and agree to a conditional surrender.  En
route to the San Carlos reservation in Arizona, the Indians escaped again,
and Crook was replaced by General Nelson Miles.  It took five thousand
troops and five hundred Indian auxiliaries to apprehend his small but
elusive, courageous band, which consisted of only 35 warriors, 101 women
and 8 boys.  They were imprisoned in Florida and then President Grover
Cleveland had them placed under military confinement at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma.  Eventually, Geronimo was placed on a reservation near Fort
Sill, where he became a farmer and raised stock.  He is picture above with
his second family.
