A Tucson grand jury had indicted one hundred of the Camp Grant assailants with one hundred and eight counts of murder in October 1871.

The trial, two months later, focuses solely on Apache depredations; it takes the jury just nineteen minutes to pronounce a verdict of not guilty.

Western Apache groups soon leave their farms and gathering places near Tucson in fear of subsequent attacks.

As pioneer families arrive and settle in the area, Apaches will never be able to regain hold of much of their ancestral lands in the San Pedro River Valley.

Many groups of Apaches join up with the Yavapais in Tonto Basin, and thence a guerilla war begins that will last until 1875.
