Cochise

Cochise (c. 1815-1874)

American Indian leader who campaigned relentlessly against white settlement of his territory. Unjustly arrested by US authorities in 1850, he escaped from custody and took US hostages, whom he later executed. A Chiricahua Apache, Cochise joined forces with the Mimbrëno Apache and successfully fought off a large force of California settlers in 1862. Finally apprehended by General George Crook in 1871, Cochise made peace with the US government the following year.

Cochise, born in Arizona, was a member of the Chiricahua band of Apache. He gained a large number of followers in his long and bitter dispute with the US government and conducted repeated raids on US posts.
