Apache War of 1885-86

Years: 1885 - 1886

In 1885, Geronimo and his followers break away again and return to plundering, but constant harassment by US forces lead to their surrender a year later.

Geronimo and other Apache are sent to a federal prison in Florida.

Later Geronimo is allowed to return to the West, where he will live out his life near Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

“History isn't about dates and places and wars. It's about the people who fill the spaces between them.”

― Jodi Picoult, The Storyteller (2013)
