through Texas and Mexico . When Victorio was killed in 1880, Nana formed his owned war party raiding isolated settlers and an army supply train. The army's pursuit of Nana was futile. Nana was a fine strategist and he eluded or defeated the militia. Finally in a surprise attack Nana was captured and sent to the San Carlos Reservation. He bolted and joined Geronimo in Mexico . Nana kept his band out of the hands of the army for about a year and surrendered in March, 1886. Nana was sent to Fort Marion , Florida because George Crook considered him the “brains of the hostile bands”. In 1894, Nana was allowed to return as far west as Fort Sill , OK where he died at the age of 96. Nana is buried in the Apache Cemetery on the Fort Sill military base. |
