We came here to bring you
to our reservation.
:05:04
Tell your men that.
:05:06
Nantan Lupan only wants peace
with the Chiricahua.
:05:12
Live on the reservation.
:05:13
Only one Chiricahua warrior
and his band of renegades held out.
:05:18
Then, even he sent word that he would
give himself up in two months time.
:05:22
He was called Goyakla.
:05:24
But years before, the Mexicans
had given him another name:
:05:28
Geronimo.
:05:39
One month before my 22nd birthday...
:05:42
...l reported for duty
in the Arizona territory.
:05:45
It was my first post into garrison life.
:05:48
In looking back, it is now clear to me
that I was as much a stranger to myself...
:05:52
...as I was to the great western desert.
:05:55
My name is Britton Davis.
:05:57
I was a participant in what the Army
later called the Geronimo Campaign.
:06:01
It is my wish to throw some light upon
the extraordinary events that I witnessed...
:06:05
...and on the men that lived them.
:06:39
The beginning of my life
as a frontier soldier was at hand...
:06:42
...and no amount of military training
could disguise the excitement I felt.
:06:46
-Howdy.
-Welcome. It's good to see an army fellow.

Whiskey?
