"Near here Geronimo, last Apache chieftain and Nachite with their followers surrendered, on Sept. 6th 1886, to General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. Army. Lieutenant Chas. B. Gatewood with Kieta and Martine Apache scouts, risked their lives to enter the camp of the hostiles to present terms of surrender offered to them by General Miles.

After two days, Gatewood received the consent of Geronimo and Nachite to surrender.

The surrender of Geronimo in Skeleton Canyon, on that historic day, forever ended Indian warfare in the United States."

Traveler 😢history can be very painful and sad if we don’t learn from past mistakes and experiences like how beautifully Germany has done teaching its youth about WW 2 and holocaust…. It’s one of the many reasons I want to go and see how they have memorialized the many victims We saw a documentary about this 🙏
