There’s one part this trilogy of videos left out. When Geronimo was moved to Oklahoma, he was imprisoned inside Fort Sill which stood for many years before Oklahoma became a state in 1907. At one point during his imprisonment, he escaped on horseback and rode quite far from the jailhouse. The Army was chasing him the whole way. As they got closer and closer to recapturing him, Geronimo leapt his horse off a cliff with a river below. He suffered minor injuries but his horse was killed instantly. He continued on foot until the Army eventually caught him. I know this because I’ve been outside of the jailhouse and I also saw the cliff where Geronimo jumped. I have yet to tour the old prison but I heard from a friend who visited that Geronimo, inside his cell, paced in a circle for so long that he actually left a circle permanently indented into the ground of his cell. I’ve visited the grave of Geronimo, Sitting Bear, Quanah Parker and his family.

Much respect for Geronimo and his warriors! I read a story that he came by train and it stopped in Texas! They locked the old warrior up in a jail cell and charged people to come and visit him! I have heard so many stories and one I read said he was never ever set free and died in the prison in Florida! The Native Americans were all done wrong! Much respect to all the Native Americans!

My great grandmother was Apache and one of the POWs, when the Peaches were being moved from Alabama to Ft Sill, she made her way back to Arizona. She had married into the Creek tribe while in Alabama and passed herself off as a Creek because the Apache weren't welcome back in the Arizona territory. She lived with a Mexican freight wagon driver and started a third new life. My grandfather would sometimes tell stories about her life in the Alabam-George area.

"They attacked some settlement and acquired enough supplies to last another year." I love how we just gloss over the particulars of an Apache raid. The Mexicans knew to fear the brutality of these indians. War crimes of the worst degree.

When Jesus returns every eye will see Him RevelAtion 1:7 He will be impersonated again by the devil He will not touch the earth . He will bring His followers out out death to meet Him in the air then those alive will also meet Him in the air His followers that is . The rest we ill remain unburied till another thousand years and the resurecti ok n of the wicked to be judged and then cast in the lake of fire. Hell and death the fallen angels also and their leader. Only Christs followers will remain. No evildoers will exhist to curse God forever as is taught. mo no mo

Here in northern Arizona we have the General Crook trail which is a state highway from I-17 east through the Verde River Valley east to the Mogolon Rim. A few years ago our native folks started petitions to eliminate Crook's name since it is so widely known he was a mass murderer. Genocide is a very Real thing around here and, we do not honor it.

Last great sioux war just ended! The geronimo campaign started in 1881. The second sittingbull military campaign along the us - Canadian border and Montana territory extended to the powder River region of 1879 -1881. The battle of the popular river January 2. 1881 American soldiers crossed the frozen river near the Canadian Montana border. They opened fire with there powerful weapons at the large hunkpapa and the Oglala Lakota large encampment for over an hour! The entire Lakota sioux Indian encampment fled to the serounding hills. One Lakota woman was screaming to end the fighting she was hit by a bullet later she died of her wounds! Eight poor innocent Lakota people were killed on the frozen battle field! Later the Lakota sioux people and warriors came down from the serounding hills an was forced the surrender! Chief gall look like a old Roman General when he handed his weapon to the American commander! The us military soldiers made poor Lakota people walk in zero blow temperatures over twenty miles to fort Burford ND. We're they become prisoners of war. Sittingbull later in the summer surrendered at Fort Burford July 20th. 1881 ending the great sioux war!
