(Deming) – A Lordsburg-area historian will give a program this Sunday on Geronimo at the Deming-Luna-Mimbres Museum.
Bill Cavaliere, a historian who also is a former Hidalgo County sheriff, will talk on “The Surrender of Geronimo.”
Cavaliere will detail how the Chiricahua Apaches, the last tribe to surrender in the United States, eventually surrendered in nearby Skeleton Canyon, Arizona, in 1886, following over 25 years of intermittent warfare with the government.
Cavaliere’s presentation will address the surrender of Geronimo to General Nelson Miles, and the surrender of the tribe to General George Crook. And Cavaliere will talk about how, after Geronimo agreed to surrender, he changed his mind and escaped.
Various photographs of the surrender sites will be part of the discussion through PowerPoint.
Cavaliere is scheduled to speak on Geronimo at the Deming-Luna Mimbres Museum at 2 p.m. this Sunday, January 18th.
The event will be held in the Transportation Room and is free to the public.
The museum is located at 301 South Silver Avenue. For more information call 546-2382.
