Let's Cheat the Indians


Today the Kadizzlites will search for Council Rocks. "It was at Council Rocks where, in 1872, Cochise signed the Broken Arrow Peace Treaty, agreeing to cease waring attacks. In return, the government granted to the Apaches a vast reservation, including the southeast corner of Arizona, including the Dragoon and Chiricahua Mountains near the Mexican border. However, in 1876, two years after Cochise died, the government broke its promise and moved the Chiricahua Apaches 100 miles north to the San Carlos Reservation on the Gila River." Cochise loved the mountains around here, and if you ever see them you will know why. Cochise was falsely accused of a kidnapping he had nothing to do with, and the whole thing spun out of control. Cochise got along fine with the local whites until they needed a fall guy. If all goes well we will find the very spot on the side of the Dragon Mountians where Cochise was tricked into signing a worthless document that allow him to be robbed. If Wall Street bankers could only have been there, to get their share.
