    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film had a mixed reception from critics, but was praised by Native American groups.
    • Goofs
      Al Sieber died in 1907, not during the hunt to capture Geronimo.
    • Quotes
      • Al Sieber, Chief of Scouts: There's two dead women there... and two little kids. They scalped them all, all four of 'em. Bounty hunters. The government down here pays 200 pesos a head for men, 100 for women and 50 for those kids. They kill any Indian and then claim they are Apache. I don't see how any man can sink so low. Must be Texans... the lowest form of white man there is.
