For over 25 years, the American military was involved a violent struggle with the Apache for control of the southwestern frontier. At the end of this costly conflict, the frontier was open and the Apache leaders were imprisoned in Alabama, Florida and Oklahoma. We'll discuss the issues, the battles, the personalities and why this war was so important in American history.
