Victorio - Bi-du-yait


The war leader, and one of the greatest warriors of the Chihen(n)e N'de, Red Paint People, Warm Springs Band of Eastern Chiricahua Apaches, Victorio, Bi-du-yait, was harassed and hounded, along with about 100 of his people, from his homeland, Cañada Alamosa, New Mexico, into Mexico. He and many of his band were killed in a large ambush by Mexican soldiers led by Col. Joaquin Terrazas, at the end of October, 1880, near Tres Castillos, Chihuahua, Mexico.

Victorio probably killed hundreds of innocent people. If a band of Apache encounterd a family of Whites alone, (father, mother, children), the family would be slaughtered, if a child was young enough, it would be kidnapped.I have read accounts of babies being wrenched from their mothers arms and being tossed up in the air and landing on the ground untill they were dead, while the braves(?) laughed. Most people don't know the truth, but some people HIDE the truth...
