Merrill Pingree Freeman: 我讲述了早期亚利桑那州拓荒者们遭受阿帕奇人袭击的经历，以及这些袭击事件对当地居民生活的影响。阿帕奇人擅长伏击战术，给拓荒者带来了巨大的伤亡，他们的袭击遍布山谷、山顶和峡谷。关于阿帕奇人是否懦弱存在争议，但他们更倾向于伏击而非正面战斗，除非被迫，否则不会主动暴露自己。在巴黎，一个犯罪团伙被称为“阿帕奇人”，这反映了阿帕奇人在美国西南部臭名昭著的形象。 我详细描述了多个阿帕奇人袭击事件，包括麦科马斯法官一家被袭击，邮政人员和医生被杀害，以及多个农场被袭击，牲畜被盗，居民被杀害的事件。值得注意的是，也有志愿者成功解救了被绑架的儿童。墨西哥人袭击并抢劫了惠顿，但最终被捕并定罪。托马斯·盖茨在监狱暴动中表现出极大的勇气。佩克一家遭受袭击，妻子和婴儿被杀害，侄女被绑架。约翰尼·巴特利特勇敢地保护了他的父亲和家人免受阿帕奇人的袭击，并前往奥罗布兰科寻求帮助。 克鲁克将军被调离亚利桑那州，部分原因是他的印第安侦察兵被认为不可靠。杰罗尼莫向迈尔斯将军投降标志着阿帕奇战争的结束。阿帕奇小子开始了他的犯罪生涯，并最终在一次越狱中杀害了警长和副警长。亚利桑那州的居民向迈尔斯将军赠送了一把剑以表彰他在平定阿帕奇战争中的贡献。约翰尼·格林利夫的故事说明了在阿帕奇小子时期人们面临的恐惧和不确定性。阿帕奇人展现了坚韧和自杀的决心。沃拉派·克拉克为其伙伴的死向阿帕奇小子复仇，最终在一次遭遇战中杀死了阿帕奇小子。
