history I found
In 1873 the Mexicans once again attacked the Apache.
[33]
After months of fighting in the mountains, the Apaches and Mexicans decided on a peace treaty at
Casas Grandes
, Chihuahua, Mexico.
[33]
After terms were agreed, the Mexican troops gave
mezcal
to the Apaches and, while they were intoxicated, they attacked and killed 20 Apaches and captured some.
[33]
The Apache were forced to retreat into the mountains once again.
[33]
Though outnumbered, Geronimo fought against both Mexican and United States troops and became famous for his daring exploits and numerous escapes from incarceration from 1858 to 1886.
[34]
One such escape, as legend has it, took place in the
Robledo Mountains
of southwest New Mexico. The legend states that Geronimo and his followers entered a cave, and the U.S. soldiers waited outside the entrance for him, but he never came out. Later, it was heard that Geronimo was spotted outside, nearby. The second entrance through which he escaped has yet to be found, and the cave is still called Geronimo's Cave, even though no reference to this event or this cave has been found in the historic or oral record. Moreover, there are many stories of this type with other caves referenced that state that Geronimo or other Apaches entered to escape troops, but were not seen exiting
