"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."
