In this video we read from "Arizona Characters" by Frank C. Lockwood, about Chiricahua Apache Chief Cochise's campaign against the U.S. army in the 1860s and 1870s, following the Bascom Affair.

In the late 70s when I was in my mid teens, I met Cochise's granddaughter. She took notice of this teen boy carving a large eagle at the end of a spruce log in order to draw customers to my father's woodcarving shop and sat nearby to chat. She asked me if I knew who Cochise was and I told her that he had been an Apache war chief (my father was big into the history of the old west). She then introduced herself and told me that her mother used to tell her stories about Cochise, how he was a gentle father and bounced her on his knee. It's always been a special memory.

[@ludwigmises]

As a kid I used to devour books about Cochise, Geronimo, Crazy Horse and other noted Indian leaders. I really wish the History Channel jettisoned Ancient Aliens, and the like, and showed real history (and without a ‘woke’ spin).

[@imout671]

Our media is trying to undermine our country at every turn. I'd not be surprised if the ccp pays for the programming. The democrat part has paid drama programs like law and order to manipulate the public on current laws they are trying to pass. The media really sways public opinion

[@Paulftate]

We like Ancient Aliens or Declassified

[@Sionnach1601]

I agree, but I disagree with you about Ancient Aliens. There is much we don't know about our existence, and it is the ONLY series that I can see which has been brave enough to venture far into that realm. There is much compelling arguments and much compelling evidence. Anyway, God bless besides 🙏👍

There is a native TV station that focuses on Indian affairs and cultural events-- It's on WYCC in my region of the upper midwest----

[@thomasfoss9963]

We used to hike and backpack extensively in the Chiracahuas, and the Dragoons in the 80s looking for traces of Cochise, or any remnants of his tribe-- We have found some bullet casings, and a few broken points in the region--- This area was very desolate, with little water, with rattlers hiding among the rocks and outcroppings, and will challenge the skills of any experienced hiker------

[@jerrywilbur7020]

My grandfather owned The Fourr Ranch at the western base of the Dragoons from early 80s to early 2000s. I spent so much riding those mountains looking for stuff also. Such a great little range. Did you ever see the Butterfield stagecoach stop fort out there? The ranch was owned by Billy Fourr during these times dealing with the Indians and they Cavalry used the ranch as a heliograph station. The original building is still there and at night we could hear something like a ball bouncing upstairs in the soldiers room with patio for signaling. I could go on and on. I love that place.

[@thomasfoss9963]

@@jerrywilbur7020 Yes I do, but we never went in the building-- I've heard only the rock foundation is left--- That's interesting about the heliograph station--- I trained with the Forest Service to be a smoke jumper in Heber then, and they taught us the heliograph system-- Hanging around the Mongollon rim, where you could see for miles, we used to watch the lightning/rain storms approaching, and it was an unreal experience as the lightning struck the ground all around us!!!! As everyone should know, most forest fires start from lightning strikes!! Anyway, I already knew Morse code, so I had a head start!!!!

[@gayprepperz6862]

Cochise was/is by far my favorite Indian Chief (along with Red Cloud & Crazy Horse).

[@renomarc9413]

What about Chief Joseph

[@gayprepperz6862]

@@renomarc9413 He was quite a strategist to say the least. No disrespect by not mentioning him, there were quite a few. Quana Parker is another one, so was Pontiac, King Phillip and Tecumseh. Osceola doesn't get the mention that he should. One can go on and on...

[@William-Marshall]

Well written, superbly read. I read a comment in the comment section, they heard about Cochise from a movie, my thoughts are: why people do not read ? It saddens me to read this. I will say you are on right track by being here. You will learn a lot from “Unworthy History “.

[@rt3box6tx74]

Early tv programs about wagon trains of the westward expansion taught about the great Indian chiefs. It wasn't serious history, but at least we learned their names. I always asked for books about the SW tribes at Christmas and for birthday gifts. I've saved them 50 yrs. Some are coffee-table size with surprisingly decent art. I memorized the text of each page. My first literary passion.

Absolutely brilliant!! The stories of these great men should be more widely known!! Best wishes from the UK 🙏🇬🇧

Cochise may have been the greatest military leader ever born in North America. He never lost a military campaign despite going against larger numbers of forces & superior weaponry like the cannon. He held off the US military for more than a decade & it all ended with a treaty.

[@WhiteManXRP]

Amen

[@Khatoon170]

Last part of my research Cochise was famous for Apache reservation , Arizona territory, Apache chief who led Indian resistance to white man incurisions into USA southwest most county of Arizona bears his name. Chief Cochise is one of greatest leaders of Apache Indians in their battles with Anglo- Americans . He feared for his settlements raids during 1800s . He was arrested and accused of kidnapping rancher son in 1861 , igniting conflict between his people and USA government. Important facts about Cochise he is one of most famous Apache leader resist European Americans colonization. He was known for being tall over 6 foot and strong . His name means having strength of oak and was born in Arizona New Mexico. Ihope you like my research. Good luck to you your family friends.

[@cplmpcocptcl6306]

I do like your research. Thank you.😊

I find myself siding with the settlers most of tge time as many storys I've heard are from their accounts but maybe it's bc I'm not hearing tge other side as I relate to cocheiefs on this story he was a good man until he was attacked by the people he helped and looked out for.

I've spent the last 5 winters camping/exploring the mountains east of Tombstone. I've been everywhere and can assure you not much remains in the way of artifacts. There was a lot of mining and those guys undoubtably searched the entire range top to bottom. Plenty of mining relics, but very little to be found indicating the natives. Perhaps old camps/structures can be found on private land near the stronghold? Beautiful place.

Who is the greatest chief? Geronimo died in captivity. Cochise died same as he was born... Free!

[@cplmpcocptcl6306]

As Geronimo died in 1909 and Cochise 1874, you can’t come to any conclusion about who was better because of captivity.

[@thomasfoss9963]

Yes, Geronimo was a Ndee, or Chiricahua White Mountain Apache--- He was one of Cochise's toughest, and most loyal warriors-- Due to his reputation, which was wildly exaggerated, as he was a medicine man, not originally a warrior, He was chased, and hunted down relentlessly by Crooks Cavalry who could never locate him, so Gen. Miles finally dispatched a 5500 man Cavalry force led by a Lieutenant who had knowledge of Indian ways, to finally locate Geronimo's hideout, which also took many months until he and his band of approx 20 warriors, and 18 others, worn out, and starving, finally surrendered--- The real sad part of the end of the Apache war is that the US Govt considered his band POWs, and sent them to labor camps in Alabama/Florida--- In various types of captivity for much of 23 years, He was never allowed to return to his ancestral lands-----

[@randysanchez931]

While that’s great perspective I don’t think Cochise had as many Apache scouts after him as did Geronimo. Though Geronimo upset many Apache with campaign losses, it was a sadder ordeal that the same Chiricahua scouts who helped the Americans pinned Geronimo, were sent to the same musty, disease borne/ridden Florida encampment.

They were aggressive colonials.

[@JonDoeNeace]

Not that all Americans in 1860 weren't descendants of people who had been colonials, most were. Not all Americans settled west during this time.

[@justjosie1163]

Well the Apaches were "immigrants" to Arizona due to the Comanche driving them out of Texas.

[@JonDoeNeace]

They were culturally Native. That's what defined it.

[@thehorseman8271]

😂

[@nativeclan]

I just couldnt listen to these stories anymore. If only the Apache would have allowed forced imprisonment in their own land. Every story, which are true accounts, are told from the great white man who was defending themselves from the Savage. Nothing the Savages did were justified even though Bascom was responsible for 20 years of war because of his treachery.
