VALUES IN TRANSITION: THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE FROM 1886-1914 John W Ragsdale, Jr.* Abstract Law confirms but seldom determines the course of a society. Values and beliefs, instead, are the true polestars, incrementally implemented by the laws, customs, and policies. The Chiricahua Apache, a tribal society of hunters, gatherers, and raiders in the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, were squeezed between the growing populations and economies of the United States and Mexico. Raiding brought response, reprisal, and ultimately confinement at the loathsome San Carlos Reservation. Though most Chiricahua submitted to the beginnings of assimilation, a number of the hardiest and least malleable did not. Periodic breakouts, wild raids through New Mexico and Arizona, and a labyrinthian, nearly impenetrable sanctuary in the Sierra Madre led the United States to an extraordinary and unprincipled overreaction.

  • United States Army Scouts: the Southwestern
    3-/71 UNITED STATES ARMY SCOUTS: THE SOUTHWESTERN EXPERIENCE, 1866-1890 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Carol Conley Nance, B. A. Denton, Texas May, 1975 Nance, Carol Conley, United States Army Scouts: The Southwestern Experience, 1866-1890. Master of Arts (History), May, 1975, 156 pp., 4 maps, bibliography, 107 titles. In the post-Civil War Southwest, the United States Army utilized civilians and Indians as scouts. As the mainstay of the reconnaissance force, enlisted Indians excelled as trackers, guides, and fighters. General George Crook became the foremost advocate of this service. A little-known aspect of the era was the international controversy created by the activities of native trackers under the 1882 recipro- cal hot pursuit agreement between Mexico and the United States. Providing valuable information on Army scouts are numerous government records which include the Annual Report of the Secretary of War from 1866 to 1896 and Foreign Relations of the United States for 1883 and 1886. Memoirs, biographies, and articles in regional and national histori- cal journals supplement government documents. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF MAPS . iv Chapter I.

  • H. Henrietta Stockel. Women of the Apache Nation
    Explorations in Sigh ts and Sounds discrimination. The authors find, however, that most whites who believe in these values find tolerance and egalitarianism to be consonant with them. It is those who favor authoritarian values (emphasizing conformity and obedience) who tend to exhibit intol­ erance and bigotry. The Scar of Race is based on data synthesized from two comprehensive, national surveys-the ational Election Study and the General Social Survey, both conducted in 1986-with the 1986 Race and Politics Survey of San Francisco Bay Area residents, the nationwide National Race Survey of 1991, and the 1989 Kentucky Survey which covered one county. The consistency of results among all of these surveys support the authors' claims of reliability and validity. This remarkable book pulls consideration of politics back into the public discourse about race. By clarifying where and to what extent prejudice still lingers in American society, and by showing that such prejudice must be considered separately from attitudes toward governmental policy, Sniderman and Piazza make a crucial contribution to the race and policy discourse. To those who seek to understand prejudice and public policy, and especially to those who hope to act on their understanding, this book will prove invaluable.

  • Lieutenant Faison's Account of the Geronimo Campaign
    Lieutenant Faison’s Account of the Geronimo Campaign By Edward K. Faison Introduction The Sky Islands region of southeastern Arizona and northeastern Sonora consists of 40 wooded mountain ranges scattered in a sea of desert scrub and arid grassland. To the west is the Sonoran Desert. To the east is the Chihuahuan Desert. To the north are the Arizona–New Mexico Mountains, and to the south is the Sierra Madre Occidental Range where elevations rise almost 10,000 feet from canyon floor to forested ridge. This “roughest portion of the continent,” in the words of General George Crook, was the setting of the Apache Wars—an American Indian–US Army conflict (1861–1886) unparalleled in its ferocity, physical demands, and unorthodox tactics. For a young lieutenant raised on North Carolina’s coastal plain and schooled in traditional warfare, Arizona in the 1880s was no ordinary place to embark on a military career.1 From this formative experience came this memoir by Lieutenant Samson L. Faison, which chronicles his eleven months of service in the Southwest during the Geronimo Campaign of 1885–1886. He wrote it in 1898 while serving at West Point as senior instructor of infantry tactics. It was never published.2 Faison’s account begins two days after the May 17, 1885 breakout of Geronimo, Natchez, Nana, and 140 Chiricahua Apache followers from the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona. Along the way, we revisit important milestones such as the death of Captain Emmet Crawford at the hands of Mexican militia, the surrender Faison's 1883 West Point Graduaon Photo conference between Geronimo and General Crook at Cañon de (USMA photo) los Embudos, and Geronimo’s subsequent flight back to Mexico followed by Crook’s resignation.

    Ezra’s Archives | 27 From Warfare to World Fair: The Ideological Commodification of Geronimo in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth-Century United States Kai Parmenter A Brief History: Geronimo and the Chiricahua Apaches Of all the Native American groups caught in the physical and ideological appropriations of expansionist-minded Anglo-Americans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Apache are often framed by historiographical and visual sources as distinct from their neighboring bands and tribes.1 Unlike their Arizona contemporaries the Navajo and the Hopi, who were ultimately relegated to mythical status as domesticated savage and artistic curiosity, the Apache have been primarily defined by their resistance to Anglo-American subjugation in what came to be known as the Apache Wars. This conflict between the Apache bands of southeastern Arizona and northern Mexico—notably the Chiricahua, the primary focus of this study—and the United States Army is loosely defined as the period between the conclusion of the Mexican-American War in 1848 and the final surrender of Geronimo and Naiche to General Nelson A. Miles in September 1886. Historian Frederick W. Turner, who published a revised and annotated edition of Geronimo’s 1906 oral autobiography, 1 The terms “Anglo-American,” “Euro-American” and “white American” are used interchangeably throughout the piece as a means of avoiding the monotony of repetitious diction. The same may be applied to Geronimo, herein occasionally referred to as “infamous Chiricahua,” “Bedonkohe leader,” etc. 28 | The Ideological Commodification of Geronimo in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth-Century United States notes that early contact between the Chiricahua and white Americans was at that point friendly, “probably because neither represented a threat to the other.”2 Yet the United States’ sizable land acquisitions following the Mexican-American War, coupled with President James K.

My thanks to management and staff. It was good. 3 Excerpt from Legends of the West: Spotted Tail said, “Now, let me tell you the worst thing about the Wasicu, and the hardest thing to understand: They do not understand choice...” This caused a murmur of consternation among the Lakota. Choice was choice. What was not there to not understand? Choice is the bedrock tenet of our very view of reality. The choices a person makes are quite literally what makes that person into who they are. Who else can tell you how to be you? One follows one’s own nature and one’s own inner voice; to us this is sacrosanct. You can choose between what makes life beautiful and what makes life ugly; you can choose whether to paint yourself in a certain manner or whether to wear something made of iron — or, as was the case with the famous Cheyenne warrior Roman Nose — you could choose to never so much as touch iron. In battle you choose whether you should charge the enemy first, join the main thrust of attack, or take off on your own and try to steal his horses.

  • United States Military Posts on the Mexico Border (1856 to Present)
    Interpretive Themes and Related Resources 139 UNITED STATES MILITARY POSTS ON THE MEXICO BORDER (1856 TO PRESENT) Summary of Theme The operations and posts of the United States military are an important part of the history of the Santa Cruz Valley. The first United States Army post was established here in 1856, soon after the region was purchased from Mexico. The first duty was to protect mines and ranches from Apache attacks, which escalated just before troops were withdrawn at the beginning of the Civil War to be redeployed in the East. For a few months in 1862, the Confederate flag flew over the region, until Union troops arrived from California and recaptured it following the westernmost skirmishes of the Civil War. In 1865, United States troops were moved closer to the border to defend it against French troops that had invaded Mexico and occupied Sonora. Between 1866 and 1886, several new posts were established, and this region was the frontline of major campaigns to pacify the Apaches. A new post was established in Nogales in 1910, when the Mexican Revolution threatened to spill across the border. In 1916, this region was a staging area for the Punitive Expedition led by General John J. Pershing; it crossed into Mexico in pursuit of Pancho Villa after he attacked a town in southern New Mexico. Until the beginning of United States involvement in World War I, the military presence was swelled by National Guard units mobilized from western states to protect the border. From 1918 until 1933, the border was guarded by African-American cavalry and infantry regiments known as Buffalo Soldiers.
