Chiricahua Apache prisoners, including Geronimo (first row, third from right), sit on an embankment outside a railroad car in Arizona, ca. 1886. Their destination was internment in a Florida prison. After they escaped on March 28, 1886, General Nelson Miles pursued Geronimo’s band deep into Mexico, gaining his surrender on September 4, 1886.
