AN ACT OF BETRAYAL

Here's today's History's Tidbit. Did you know that in the peace agreement negotiated with Cochise by General Howard, the Chiricahuas were given a reservation in the Sulphur Springs Valley region of Cochise County? No such reservation exists today. This is because the U.S. government, in a blatent act of treachery, broke the treaty it made with the Chiricahuas and forcibly relocated them to the San Carlos reservation.
