The Apache Woman Who Fought Beside Geronimo — And The Forgotten Story Of Lozen, The Warrior History Almost Forgot
The written record at this point becomes somewhat more informative than it had been during the resistance — she was now within the institutional systems that kept records — but she does not appear prominently even in the documentation of the prisoner population.
Fort Marion and the End
The Apache prisoners held at Fort Marion in St.
Augustine, Florida, faced conditions that were devastating.
The men were initially held in a fort without adequate facilities; the women and children were housed elsewhere.
The climate — humid, subtropical, entirely unlike the dry mountains and desert of the Southwest — was hostile to people who had lived their lives in a very different environment.
Tuberculosis spread through the prisoner population.
