The American Southwest

Here you'll find a Podcast about the American Southwest featuring its animals, heroes, villains, regions, myths, and historical sites & events. I have details on all the places I've been to in the wild and woolly west that includes some insider information and good tips (plus lots of pictures). Recipes inspired by the Southwest have their own page. There's even a blog with pictures and fun stories about the many wonderful places throughout the region. Feel free to get in contact with me for any reason or if you want help planning your next trip to the great American Southwest.  Enjoy the Adventure!

In May of 1885, Geronimo and over 140 Chiricahua Apaches broke out of the San Carlos Reservation in a final gasp of the long lasting Apache Wars of the American Southwest. For the next 16 months the US Army under Crook and then General Miles will hunt the renegades down through mountains, canyons, and deserts. Countless innocents, soldiers, and Chiricahuas will perish as the Army and their Apache Scouts chase the hostiles through New Mexico, Arizona, Sonora, and Chihuahua. Tom Horn, Al Sieber, General Crook, Bourke, Chihuahua, Nana, Naiche, and Geronimo feature heavily in this episode. As well as new players like Lawton, Crawford, and Davis. This episode is a frustrating and sad saga but it brings about the official end to my Apache Series.

This episode was originally a Subscriber only episode in my series over the Western legend Tom Horn but since he participated so heavily in ending the threat of Geronimo and his hostile renegades, I thought it would be a good final episode over the Apache Series for all listeners.
