Without the Pima scouts he never could have run down the Apaches as he did.

Perhaps these were the hardest of all the Plains Indians to find and to fight.

But in 1872 Crook subdued them and concentrated them in reservations in Arizona.
Ten years later, under Geronimo, a tribe of the Apaches broke loose and yielded to General Crook only after a prolonged war.

Once again they raided New Mexico and Arizona in 1885-6.

This was the last raid of Geronimo.
