Cherry Creek Campaign

The Cherry Creek Campaign occurred in March 1890 and was one of the final conflicts between hostile Apaches and the United States Army. It began after a small group of Apaches killed a freight wagon operator, near the San Carlos Reservation, and was part of the larger Apache Campaign, beginning in 1889, to round up renegades who had escaped the army's reservations. The American army fought a skirmish with the renegades near Globe, Arizona, at the mouth of Cherry Creek, which resulted in the deaths of two hostiles and the capture of the remaining three. Two men received the Medal of Honor for their service during the campaign.
