Cochise was one of the leading chiefs of the Chiricahua Apache tribe from the 1840s through the early 1870s. He and his people’s homeland was invaded by both the Mexican government and then by the westward movement of the American settlers. Despite his efforts to remain at peace, he and his family were wrongly accused of a crime, which led to the breakout of an eleven year war that raged between the Apaches and the U.S. in both Arizona and New Mexico.
