Indian Outbreak of 1882 Retold by Connell at San Carlos
An old account by Charles T. Connell, San Carlos post trader, describes the Apache clash of April 18–19 1882. Captain Sterling and Sagotal die as Loco’s band, Jub and Geronimo, clash with scouts and guards, leaving long trail of blood across Arizona and Sonora. The story follows the telegraph line cut, the alarm, the pursuit, and Sterling’s death near the Loco camp as Apache fighters flee toward the Eagle mountains and Sonora.
