“Geronimo’s Capture – Officially Confirmed – The End of an Arduous Campaign,” read The Post’s headline as we reported: “Gen. Miles has returned to Fort Bowie with Natchez, the son of Cochise, Geronimo, and his brother, with three other Apaches, all as prisoners of war. Gen. Drum, Acting Secretary of War, was in good spirits after the receipt of the official dispatch confirming the press reports of the surrender. He said that this was the end of a war running, with brief intermissions, through 25 years. The opinion prevails in some quarters that the Indians will be transferred to the custody of the Interior Department for a time, and that Geronimo and his lieutenants will ultimately be surrendered to the civil authorities of Arizona and put on trial for murder.”
