The final subjugation of Geronimo (Goyahkla), the Be-don-ko-he/Chihenne war leader in 1886, has always been a topic of interest to students of the Apache wars with the United States. The controversy over final due credit for the surrender has held center stage between admirers of General Nelson A. Miles and Lieutenant Charles Gatewood. In modern times, scholars generally agree that Gatewood, whom the Apaches called Bay-chen-daysen (Long Nose), along with the Apache scouts Kayitah and Martine deserve most of the credit for Geronimo's final loss of freedom and the subsequent exile of the Chiricahuas from Arizona and New Mexico territories. |
