Geronimo: An American Legend Page #3

I'm going to have to give you up.

You have a good long glass, Gatewood.

If I scare them off...

...we trade.

I can't let you kill any of those men.

That was a great shot.

Not so great, I aimed for his head.

We best catch up to Mr. Davis

and the others now.

This your name?

Gatewood?

Yes.

A gift from my troops.

They must think you're a fine chief.

No.

Not a chief, just a soldier.

Your glass much better than mine.

Blue stone is valuable to Apache.

Well, thank you.

The following afternoon,

we arrived at the military base...

...of operations at San Carlos.

This afforded me my first glimpse

of General Crook...

...who the Apache called Nantan Lupan,

Grey Wolf Chief.

Our arrival was laid out

with great military ceremony.

The surrender of Geronimo

was no small event.

General.

My compliments, Lieutenant.

Nantan Lupan.

It does my heart good

to see you, Geronimo.

I accept your surrender.

I accept the surrender of a great warrior.

Now, let's have a cup of coffee

and smoke a cigar.

Got a lot to talk about.

It's old Geronimo.

Good to see you, ain't it?

You know my friend, Al Sieber.

Yeah. I was always hoping

to catch up to you myself, but...

...I guess I'll never get that chance now.

-Mr. Sieber.

-Lieutenant.

I see you have your cigar and coffee.

Lieutenant Gatewood told me

of your trip up from the border.

Sounds like quite a story.

I'm glad to see that Geronimo's

a man of his word.

Washington's ordered me

to detain you here for a short period...

...and then send you and your band

of Chiricahua on to Turkey Creek.

We keep our rifles for hunting.

Yes, but only on the reservation.

I'll put one of my officers in charge there.

Gatewood.

No, I'm sorry, Lieutenant Gatewood

is a company officer.

He has his responsibilities here.

Then we take Davis.

I like Davis.

I'm sure Mr. Davis will be a fine officer...

...but I had somebody

more experienced in mind.

I like Davis.

-What do you think, Lieutenant?

-I'm sure it will be his privilege...

...as well as his duty.

Mr. Davis, it is.

To be accompanied

by a small detachment of soldiers.

The Apache will be under the protection

of the United States Army.

Mr. Davis is young.

Young Apache, young White-Eye,

the hope of the West.

Gatewood.

You come visit me.

I would like that.

I hope the wars are over, my friend.

Nantan Lupan wants the Chiricahua

to learn to be farmers.

It's their only chance.

They must change.

The old days are gone.

Nantan Lupan says there must be

no leaving this reservation...

...even for a few hours without permission.

There must be no drinking

of whiskey or Tizwin.

Any violations of these rules...

...will result in confinement in an Army
