Book Description
The collection consists of an unpublished bound manuscript, The Geronimo Campaign of 1885-1886 : the story of the outbreak of the Chiricahua Apaches and of Geronimo's band, by Henry W. Daly. The manuscript contains Daly's first-hand account of the entire campaign to capture Geronimo after he escaped the Fort Apache Reservation on 17 May 1885. It was written sometime between 1890 and 1920. Photographs of General George Crook, Captain Emmet Crawford, and Geronimo are attached to preliminary pages of the volume. Two loose photographs of Pack Train, Company A (unit unidentified) and Indian Scouts, Fort Apache, 1885 and a letter written by Captain H. W. Lawton to Lieutenant Charles Gatewood on 24 August 1886 were found inside the front cover of the manuscript.
