Cochise
Chiricahua Apache Chief
Cochise, a Chiricahua, was said to be the most resourceful, most brutal, and most feared Apache. He and his warriors raided in both Mexico and the United States. When his brother was executed by Americans in 1861, Cochise declared war and fought relentlessly for a decade against the United States, submitting ultimately to the reservation only in the face of overwhelming military superiority.
