To those interested in the so-called Apache Wars, a number of recent works have made the figure of Chatto, the Chiricahua chieftain, familiar as a reformed bad Indian,i and as an example of the undescriminating treatment meted out by the government to the Apaches. It will be recalled that during the years 1882-83 he was prominently identified with Geronimo's group of hostile Apaches harassing white and Indian settlements in Arizona and New Mexico from a base in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico. To follow Lockwood's account, the most recent, it appears that it was Chatto who on April 19, 1882, raided the sub-agency at Fort Goodwin and forced the peaceful reservation Apaches under Loco to take to the war trail, killing two men. In March, 1883, he made a dramatic raid for ammunition from Mexico. His raiders on this occasion killed four men at a charcoal camp near Fort Huachuca, three men west of the Whetstone Mountains, two more at Point of the Mountain east of Ben.son, and Judge McComas and his family on the road between Silver City and Lordsburg, New Mexico. Aside from these two exploits Chatto seems to have taken part in a number of less spectacular fights and raids. In May, 1883, he, in company with a number of other Apache leaders surrendered to General George Crook and settled on the San Carlos reservation. By 1884 he had become a sergeant of scouts and remained thereafter loyal to the United States. Chatto early became known as one of the best farmers at San Carlos and seems, in the period 1884-86, to have attempted to coiperate with the government to the best of his ability in both peace and war against the renegade members of his own tribe. In 1885 he refused to leave the reservation in a break-away organized by Chihuahua, Geronimo and Mangus; and in the same year Chatto served as a scout with the United States forces pursuing the runaways under those leaders. In the summer of 1886 Chatto was a member of a delegation chosen to go to Washington for the purpose of inquiring what the government would do for the Chiricahuas should they be willing to move to some other part of the country.
