Geronimo: An American Legend Page #6

Geronimo's band had gone east

into the copper mining country...

...of the low hills.

His tactics were re-supply

at the expense of the civilians...

...who had settled on Chiricahua land.

This is Apache land.

This has always been Apache land!

We ain't never done nothing to you.

I mean, it ain't right.

Stop crying, damn it!

He's going to kill you anyway.

We make things out of this country!

There was nothing here before us,

there'd be nothing if we left it to you.

You are a fool...

...but at least you are brave.

Get off Apache land.

The next time, I will kill you.

Detail halt!

-Troops, right, straight!

-Left, right, face.

'The Apache known as

Dandy Jim and Skip-Hey...

'...have been found guilty by the

Military Court, Department of Arizona...

'...of insurrection at Cibecue Creek.

'The Apache Dead Shot...

'...Sergeant, Military Scouts,

Sixth Cavalry...

'...been found guilty of treason.

'The sentence of the court

for the three prisoners...

'...is death by hanging.'

Do any of you have anything

to say to me as Chaplain?

Are any of you Christians?

Nantan Lupan...

...I give you my hat.

Maybe you think my wife, my baby.

Don't trust the White-Eye.

With them there is no right way.

I am not afraid of their preacher.

The One God will welcome me.

There's three of them.

The driver should be nearby.

They didn't have to kill them

just to get their horses.

No, they didn't.

AI Sieber had had his wound

from Cibecue cauterised with a hot poker...

...and was back in the saddle

the following day.

All told, he had suffered

17 gunshot and arrow wounds...

...in his many years of fighting Apache.

The General wants to deploy me

and Dutchy to your column.

How's that wound, Mr. Sieber?

Which one?

Down here, here, here, here?

Hell, I'm in real good.

Ain't slowing me down none.

We came across an overland.

Four dead, horses gone.

If they've burned

two spreads off to the west...

...they've picked up horses,

food, a lot of ammunition.

I figure I'll just keep tracking off

to those hills there.

All right.

Mr. Davis, you and Sergeant Mulrey

stick with Mr. Sieber.

Be sure that he gets back

to the column by sundown.

Yes, sir.

That raiding party is real close.

Yup.

I want you to ride for the column.

Bring them back to pick up this trail.

On the double, pronto, go on,

get out of here!

You take him!

The hostile Apache that Dutchy and I

had been pursuing had gotten away.

Needless to say, at the time,

I was humiliated.

But much later I decided the incident

had come out for the best.

I'm quite content to go to my grave

knowing that I've never killed an Apache.

You all right, Mr. Sieber?

Caught up with three bucks
