|
| For about 300 years, the Apaches
were the most formidable warriors of the American
Southwest. An Athabascan tribe with strong family
ties and deep religious beliefs, the Apaches migrated
to the Southwest in the 10th century, and were among
the first tribes to fight the invading Europeans.
Led by legendary chiefs including Geronimo and Cochise,
they defeated numerically and technologically superior
forces of Spanish, Mexican, and US troops. US army
officers, battle-hardened in the Civil War, found
the Apaches the greatest American Indian fighters.
The Apaches were never conquered. |
