In An Apache Nightmare, Charles Collins tells the story of the
Battle at Cibecue Creek, a pivotal event in the Apache Wars.
On August 28, 1881, Col. Eugene Asa Carr left Fort Apache,
Arizona Territory, with two cavalry troops and a company of Indian
scouts. Their aim was to arrest a Cibecue Apache medicine man,
Nock-ay-det-klinne, rumored to be inciting his followers against
whites in the area. The arrest at Cibecue Creek was uneventful, but
as Carr's forces returned to Fort Apache, the medicine man's
followers attacked. The Apaches were soon joined by the Indian
scouts, marking the skirmish as the only wholesale mutiny of an
Indian scout company in U.S. military history.
Basing his account on extensive primary sources, including
testimony from Apaches themselves, Collins describes the events
leading up to the incident, recreates the battle, and analyzes its
aftermath.
