Dhameystir weedha soo socota: Kadib markii uu Geronimo is dhiibay sanadkii 1886, wax badan looma baahna indha indheeyayaasha Apache sidaa darteedna waxaa la yareeyay ilaa konton nin 1891. Sanadkii 1915 waxay ahaayeen afar iyo labaatan. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, ka dib markii uu Pancho Villa weeraray Columbus, New Mexico, bishii Maarso 1916, General John J. Pershing ayaa lagu amray inuu amar ku bixiyo
ciqaab ahaan loogu diray Mexico si loo soo qabto ama loo dilo Villa. Pershing wuxuu oggolaaday in la qoro toddoba iyo toban indha-indheyaal cusub oo Apache ah, taasoo keentay soddon iyo sagaal nin. Pancho Villa iyo fallaagadiisii waxay ka howlgali jireen Chihuahua markii Pershing uu hogaamiyay ciidankiisa dhinaca kale ee xadka caalamiga ah. Baadhayaasha waxaa loo qaybiyay laba kooxood. Kooxdii ugu horreysay waxay u ambabaxday Mexico iyagoo ka yimid Fort Huachuca, Arizona, si ay ugu biiraan Ciidanka Buffalo ee 10aad, halka kooxdii labaad ay ka baxday Fort Apache, si ay ugu biiraan Ciidanka 11aad. Si kastaba ha noqotee, waqtigii ay indha-indheeyayaashu yimaadeen Chihuahua, Mexico, ugaarsiga Villa waxaa horey u joojiyay Pershing, sababo la xiriira guuldaradii ka soo gaartay Dagaalkii Carrizal, kaas oo Mareykanku kula dagaalamay ciidamada dowladda Mexico, oo loo yaqaan Carrancistas. Ugaarsiga marnaba lama sii wadin ka dibna Pershing wuxuu bilaabay qabsashada waqooyiga Chihuahua, waxaa ku xigay dib u gurasho gaabis ah oo ku soo laabatay Mareykanka, amarada Madaxweyne Wilson.
