First Lieutenant Charles P. Gatewood.
It is good to see the great warrior.
Second Lieutenant Britton Davis,
Sixth Cavalry.
You are now under the protection
We will escort you
to General Crook at San Carlos.
with an open heart.
They are something.
Chiricahua are special.
Even amongst the Apache.
The second night of our trek to San Carlos,
we put up at the Overland way station...
...at the foot of the Dragoon Mountains.
The following morning
I had my first opportunity to write home...
...being careful to include in the letter
an offhand reference to my participation...
...in the capture of Geronimo.
Two men are coming.
Man with white hat carries shotgun.
I'm looking for the officer in charge.
Lieutenant Charles Gatewood
at your service.
Heard the Army was travelling through
with hostiles.
Especially one hostile in particular.
City Marshal Joe Hawkins, Tombstone.
Apaches over yonder are under arrest.
I'm deputizing you to hold
these criminals until we get back...
...with a posse and a warrant.
These Apache are in our custody.
The warrant's going to specify
murder of white citizens...
...horse thievery and hostile Indianism.
Now, is that good enough for you?
We want to do what's right,
which is hang them.
I have orders to turn these Apache in
to General Crook.
doesn't need your help.
Lieutenant....
Don't sass me, blue coat.
Great Geronimo.
I think you're nothing
but a murdering red bastard.
I'd ride on if I were you, sir.
You seem to have provoked the hostiles.
And I don't think you want to get
into a contest with the Sixth Cavalry.
Let me tell you something.
Even the Sixth Cavalry is subject
to a Federal warrant.
Justice will be served...
...one way or the other.
Toothy.
Get the Apaches going, Mr. Davis.
Now.
Sir.
We moved north with all possible speed...
...but our pack mules prevented us
from making good progress.
Around 4:
00 in the afternoon,we caught sight of the Tombstone Posse.
Faced with the potential enemy
that possessed superior numbers...
...Lieutenant Gatewood hit upon
an unusual tactic.
He divided his forces.
He sent me ahead with the others,
while he and Geronimo remained behind.
The lieutenant had two objectives.
First, to attempt
a rear-guard protective action.
Second, and most important,
never to lose sight of Geronimo.
Easy, steady!
What you seeing, Davy?
Looks like some of them split off.
Six or seven of them headed
to San Carlos...
...other two up yonder.
That's more of a lynch mob than a posse.
