The Apache Woman Who Fought Beside Geronimo — And The Forgotten Story Of Lozen, The Warrior History Almost Forgot
This promise was not kept.
The Apache who surrendered — including those who had served as scouts for the United States Army and who had been instrumental in tracking down the resisters — were sent to Fort Marion in Florida and then to various other locations in the Southeast.
They would never return to their homeland.
Lozen was among those captured and transported to the East.
She had not surrendered willingly in any meaningful sense — she had fought until fighting was no longer possible, and she was taken as a prisoner of war rather than as someone who had chosen to lay down arms.
The accounts of her in captivity are sparse.
