Excerpt: ...Mexican troops coming toward our camp to attack us. Battle of White Hill The chief of the Nedni Apaches, Whoa, was with me and commanded one division. The warriors were all marched toward the Pg 100 troops and met them at a place about five miles from our camp. We showed ourselves to the soldiers and they quickly rode to the top of a hill and dismounted, placing their horses on the outside for breastworks. It was a round hill, very steep and rocky, and there was no timber on its sides. There were two companies of Mexican cavalry, and we had about sixty warriors.

We had been fighting ever since about one o'clock, and about the middle of the Pg 101 afternoon, seeing that we were making no further progress, I gave the sign for the advance. The war-whoop sounded and we leaped forward from every stone over the Mexicans' dead horses, fighting hand to hand. The attack was so sudden that the Mexicans, running first this way and then that, became so confused that in a few minutes we had killed them all.

No troops molested us here and after about a year we returned to Arizona. Geronimo Asa Deklugie Apache War Chief Official interpreter for Geronimo.Son of Whoa, chief of theNedni Apaches.
