As European immigrants gradually conquered the North American continent and established their own nation—America, the treatment of Native Americans remained an issue. In the area where the southwestern United States meets the Mexican border, there was a group of indigenous Native Americans who were not constrained by the reservation system. They were the Apaches, and after most had surrendered and agreed to live on reservations, Apache leader Geronimo, who continued to resist, became a major headache for the U.S. military. After agreeing to surrender, Lieutenant Gatewood of the 6th Cavalry and young Lieutenant Davis set off to escort Geronimo to the reservation. Living on the reservation was completely different from the original lifestyle of the Apaches. Unwilling to live as corn farmers, Geronimo decided to fight again after the white settlers killed their shaman, determined to reclaim their rightful homeland and way of life. The military leadership was furious with Geronimo's backtracking, and the conflict between whites and Native Americans resulted in heavy casualties on both sides. Gatewood and Davis, who hated war, believed the Apaches should be given a good living space, but were forced to obey their superiors' orders. Geronimo, along with his followers, formed an Apache strike force, fighting against whites to reclaim their land. Although some Apaches who had joined the U.S. Army switched sides, many still hoped for a stable life. With their assistance, Gatewood and Davis were tasked with the mission to find Geronimo and persuade him to surrender. Naturally peace-loving, Geronimo, persuaded by his “friend” Gatewood, believed in the plan to live in Florida for two years before returning home, but the U.S. government broke its promise and imprisoned other Apache soldiers who had already joined the army in Florida as well. Geronimo died in prison 22 years later, never having returned to his land.
