Ernest Talks Series: Cochise, Geronimo, and the Apache Wars
Friday, April 4
10:00 AM- 11:00 AM
McNamee delves into the tangled history that surrounds the so-called “Apache Wars”, when fully half of the active U.S. Army descended on the territory to combat a relative handful of indigenous warriors. Ironically, the Apache peoples of the Southwest had once welcomed the arrival of the Americans as a buffer against Mexico, which regularly attacked Apache settlements.
