Excellent pictures of this place historical and ethnic Apache sad, I hope the following story is useful to describe the event: - I started exploring the state of Chihuahua through reading your story, and I found so captivating passages I was essential to visit the sites where the events occurred. I was particularly impressed by the story of the Apache war, developed over 200 years, and whose main stage was the beauty "barbaric" the geography of Chihuahua, in addition to the territory currently occupied Sonora, Durango and Coahuila, Mexico, and New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, USA. The only Apache chief who has transcended the knowledge of the general public is Jerome, who survived thanks to the war held in a U.S. reservation because Hollywood spread its image across several films.
The Indian Victorio The true culmination of the power apache was under the command of Chief Victorio or Vitorio who, being Chiricahua Apaches numerous groups united against whites. In fact, it was an undefeated leader, whose defeat was death, which led to the decline of Apache groups.
Legend has it that Victorio was mestizo, and at age six, in 1849, was kidnapped on the estate of Encinillas, Chihuahua, by starting apache. It soon became apache, learned the language, dominated the horse to perfection and was adapted to the harsh life of the group. Always persecuted, always at war, always attacking or running away, pulling hair and surviving in hard and long hours with dried beef and pinole, the desert was his home and refuge.
Victorio, to avenge the murder of the woman who would become his wife, became the bloodiest of the Apache chiefs and out among them for their stance violent extreme. With its prestige gained power over Mangus, heir to apache. Under his command were grouped as other heads Ju (also called "Crazy", Zele, Chato, Geronimo and Nana).
Between 1872 and 1880 Victorio became terror on both sides of the border, where two separate armies sought to capture or kill the Apache chief and his warriors.
The "scourge of the Indians" who managed to defeat Victorio was Colonel Joaquin Terrazas, after long chase by the Chihuahuan Desert. Terrazas, like Victorio, was an extraordinary man. Fernando Jordan in suCrónica of a barbarous country on Terrazas says: "It was, in short, a remarkable man and a legendary figure. At his side, Buffalo Bill had not been more than unboy Scout. The Chihuahuan arid land has not again produce such a man. "
Don Joaquin was a cousin of the famous Luis Terrazas, several times governor of Chihuahua, chief and one of the largest landowners and landowners of the time. However, Joaquin Luis was different, simple, humble and discreet, delivered to the task to weaken and destroy the Apaches, to which he devoted thirty years to give the final blow.
The struggle of Three Castles In June 1880, Victorio, after a time of raids in Arizona, returned to Chihuahua to continue their attacks more effective in Mexico. Don Joaquin met a body of 350 armed volunteers, from across the state. This contingent included a group of riflemen Tarahumara Arisiachi community. The Tarahumara were also victims of the Apaches, in retaliation for participating in previous persecutions of the Chiricahuas.
This time, Victorio carried a large number of families Apaches complete, so that his march was not so fast. Terrazas began coparlo.
In fact, by then Victorio was between two fires: the armies of Mexico and the United States.
During the chase, Victorio decided to rest in the hamlet of Tres Castillos, where he reached Terrazas, was on 14 October. The battle began in the afternoon, when they were face to face Terrazas column and two groups of Apaches. Contrary to what they used to, guerrilla warfare, the Apaches were forced to a frontal. The two columns moved forward at full speed. Two Tarahumara runners, Mauritius and Roque, came forward with their light feet, the terraces and column, only 20 meters from the Apaches fired. Mauritius found its mark and mortally wounded Victorio. The death led to the defeat of the Apache chief, although fighting continued all night and part of the day 15. The last Apaches resisted from a small cave. They accepted the surrender, and many hours after they were destroyed. Previously, Terrazas was called "the scourge of the Indians," but from this episode was named "Hero of Three Castles".
After this coup, the Apacheria did not return to recover, although sporadic raids still continued until 1886. Hu succeeded Victorio, and later Geronimo came to Ju.
Castles trres 115 years after the war's history apache has its climax in Three Castles. After reading over and over several books about this war, I decided to visit the forgotten site. I have deep respect for the players, and for me it was important to know the places where they were, essentially where the Apaches were killed.
Three Castles is located about 150 km northeast of the city of Chihuahua, in the municipality of Coyame, in a region noted for its aridity. One cold December morning I left the small community of Coyame toward the spot, through a dirt road 80 km, which is not always in good condition.
The course is a series of vast plains dotted, from time to time by small mountains. The aridity is extreme and intensely beautiful, outstanding landscapes overflowing with ocotillo, yucca, mesquite, governors, jasmine and soles. Scattered across the plains are several cattle ranches, some of them survivors of the time apache. We passed several of them saw only other deviations: Santo Niño, La Rinconada, La Mora, La Escuelita, La Paloma, John, Water Zarca and The Escondido.
After an hour and a half we distinguish in the distance our goal: the hills of Tres Castillos. Among the overcast sky had cast a ray of sun that made them shine with gold, the three small hills. Before reaching our goal, we passed the rancho El Escondido, whose lands are, and ask permission to foreman. He agreed and even gave us a couple of keys so we opened the doors in the path.
Fifteen minutes later we stopped our car, just 100 m from three granitic hills. With about 50 and 60 meters the highest, are oriented nearly north to south, and surrounded by an immense arid plain which is flooded from time to time and as bodies of water some length.
The site is impressive for its isolation, and sight is lost after the vast horizon. I think that it pleased the desert to the Apaches, as the horizons are as broad as their freedom.
Apache remains 115 years after Three Castles appears intact. There are still the trenches of the Apaches, and the remains of their camps. We even found some shell casings at the time, no doubt remains of struggle, as well as arrowheads, stone knives and other tools. In the southern hill located the small cave where they were killed the last Apaches Victorio group. I climbed to the summit of three hills and the view amazed me. I thought about representing the site, heard the distant howling of a group of coyotes, "is the cry of the Apaches" I thought, would have howled and the harbinger of death, and seeing his wake dropped to Victorio and throughout the night of October 14, 1880. When I was in the middle top of the hill, I cried with all my heart to hear some echo, and to my surprise was heard perfectly well. The echo returned my images on fighting Apaches, their bodies painted and firing their rifles and arrows.
In any Chihuahua I have not found a single grave apache. In fact, Three Castles is like the tomb of an entire ethnic group. It is the tomb of all the Apaches and his epitaph is hostile nature that surrounds

Previously, Terrazas was called "the scourge of the Indians," but from this episode was named "Hero of Three Castles". After this coup, the Apacheria did not return to recover, although sporadic raids still continued until 1886. Hu succeeded Victorio, and later Geronimo came to Ju. Castles trres 115 years after the war's history apache has its climax in Three Castles. After reading over and over several books about this war, I decided to visit the forgotten site. I have deep respect for the players, and for me it was important to know the places where they were, essentially where the Apaches were killed. Three Castles is located about 150 km northeast of the city of Chihuahua, in the municipality of Coyame, in a region noted for its aridity. One cold December morning I left the small community of Coyame toward the spot, through a dirt road 80 km, which is not always in good condition. The course is a series of vast plains dotted, from time to time by small mountains. The aridity is extreme and intensely beautiful, outstanding landscapes overflowing with ocotillo, yucca, mesquite, governors, jasmine and soles. Scattered across the plains are several cattle ranches, some of them survivors of the time apache. We passed several of them saw only other deviations: Santo Niño, La Rinconada, La Mora, La Escuelita, La Paloma, John, Water Zarca and The Escondido. After an hour and a half we distinguish in the distance our goal: the hills of Tres Castillos. Among the overcast sky had cast a ray of sun that made them shine with gold, the three small hills. Before reaching our goal, we passed the rancho El Escondido, whose lands are, and ask permission to foreman. He agreed and even gave us a couple of keys so we opened the doors in the path. Fifteen minutes later we stopped our car, just 100 m from three granitic hills. With about 50 and 60 meters the highest, are oriented nearly north to south, and surrounded by an immense arid plain which is flooded from time to time and as bodies of water some length. The site is impressive for its isolation, and sight is lost after the vast horizon. I think that it pleased the desert to the Apaches, as the horizons are as broad as their freedom. Apache remains 115 years after Three Castles appears intact. There are still the trenches of the Apaches, and the remains of their camps. We even found some shell casings at the time, no doubt remains of struggle, as well as arrowheads, stone knives and other tools. In the southern hill located the small cave where they were killed the last Apaches Victorio group. I climbed to the summit of three hills and the view amazed me. I thought about representing the site, heard the distant howling of a group of coyotes, "is the cry of the Apaches" I thought, would have howled and the harbinger of death, and seeing his wake dropped to Victorio and throughout the night of October 14, 1880. When I was in the middle top of the hill, I cried with all my heart to hear some echo, and to my surprise was heard perfectly well. The echo returned my images on fighting Apaches, their bodies painted and firing their rifles and arrows. In any Chihuahua I have not found a single grave apache. In fact, Three Castles is like the tomb of an entire ethnic group. It is the tomb of all the Apaches and his epitaph is hostile nature that surrounds
Excellent pictures of this place historical and ethnic Apache sad, I hope the following story is useful to describe the event: - I started exploring the state of Chihuahua through reading your story, and I found so captivating passages I was essential to visit the sites where the events occurred. I was particularly impressed by the story of the Apache war, developed over 200 years, and whose main stage was the beauty "barbaric" the geography of Chihuahua, in addition to the territory currently occupied Sonora, Durango and Coahuila, Mexico, and New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, USA. The only Apache chief who has transcended the knowledge of the general public is Jerome, who survived thanks to the war held in a U.S. reservation because Hollywood spread its image across several films. The Indian Victorio The true culmination of the power apache was under the command of Chief Victorio or Vitorio who, being Chiricahua Apaches numerous groups united against whites. In fact, it was an undefeated leader, whose defeat was death, which led to the decline of Apache groups. Legend has it that Victorio was mestizo, and at age six, in 1849, was kidnapped on the estate of Encinillas, Chihuahua, by starting apache. It soon became apache, learned the language, dominated the horse to perfection and was adapted to the harsh life of the group. Always persecuted, always at war, always attacking or running away, pulling hair and surviving in hard and long hours with dried beef and pinole, the desert was his home and refuge. Victorio, to avenge the murder of the woman who would become his wife, became the bloodiest of the Apache chiefs and out among them for their stance violent extreme. With its prestige gained power over Mangus, heir to apache. Under his command were grouped as other heads Ju (also called "Crazy", Zele, Chato, Geronimo and Nana). Between 1872 and 1880 Victorio became terror on both sides of the border, where two separate armies sought to capture or kill the Apache chief and his warriors. The "scourge of the Indians" who managed to defeat Victorio was Colonel Joaquin Terrazas, after long chase by the Chihuahuan Desert. Terrazas, like Victorio, was an extraordinary man. Fernando Jordan in suCrónica of a barbarous country on Terrazas says: "It was, in short, a remarkable man and a legendary figure. At his side, Buffalo Bill had not been more than unboy Scout. The Chihuahuan arid land has not again produce such a man. " Don Joaquin was a cousin of the famous Luis Terrazas, several times governor of Chihuahua, chief and one of the largest landowners and landowners of the time. However, Joaquin Luis was different, simple, humble and discreet, delivered to the task to weaken and destroy the Apaches, to which he devoted thirty years to give the final blow. The struggle of Three Castles In June 1880, Victorio, after a time of raids in Arizona, returned to Chihuahua to continue their attacks more effective in Mexico. Don Joaquin met a body of 350 armed volunteers, from across the state. This contingent included a group of riflemen Tarahumara Arisiachi community. The Tarahumara were also victims of the Apaches, in retaliation for participating in previous persecutions of the Chiricahuas. This time, Victorio carried a large number of families Apaches complete, so that his march was not so fast. Terrazas began coparlo. In fact, by then Victorio was between two fires: the armies of Mexico and the United States. During the chase, Victorio decided to rest in the hamlet of Tres Castillos, where he reached Terrazas, was on 14 October. The battle began in the afternoon, when they were face to face Terrazas column and two groups of Apaches. Contrary to what they used to, guerrilla warfare, the Apaches were forced to a frontal. The two columns moved forward at full speed. Two Tarahumara runners, Mauritius and Roque, came forward with their light feet, the terraces and column, only 20 meters from the Apaches fired. Mauritius found its mark and mortally wounded Victorio. The death led to the defeat of the Apache chief, although fighting continued all night and part of the day 15. The last Apaches resisted from a small cave. They accepted the surrender, and many hours after they were destroyed. Previously, Terrazas was called "the scourge of the Indians," but from this episode was named "Hero of Three Castles". After this coup, the Apacheria did not return to recover, although sporadic raids still continued until 1886. Hu succeeded Victorio, and later Geronimo came to Ju.
