In the late 1800s with a band of warriors that rarely exceeded 50, he conducted a campaign of guerilla warfare against Mexican and American armies for nearly a decade. He was a superb military tactician and an avowed man of peace thrust into a collision point between equally unyielding cultures.Date Original1981Date Range1980s (1980-1989)TypeStill ImageOriginal FormatDrawings (visual works)Oil pencilContributing InstitutionArizona Capitol MuseumCollectionChris-Town Shopping Center - 24 Arizona Heritage PortraitsRights StatementIN COPYRIGHT
