JACK LASSETER: The Chiricahua Apaches: Warrior People of the Southwest

This is the true story, not the movie version, of the Chiricahua Apache. Here Jack shares with us who they were as a people, some fascinating stories of their two leaders, Cochise and Geronimo, how their resistance lasted for some 25 years, and what happened to them in the end. This is quintessential Jack, who brings them alive and makes them real. After hearing this talk you will want to go to the Chiricahuas where Cochise was born, to Apache Pass where he fought, and to his Stronghold in the Dragoons where he died.

Historian Jack Lasseter served as a JAG officer in the United States Air Force and enjoyed a decades long career as an attorney in the state of Arizona. He currently gives presentations and talks at venues such as Tubac Presidio State Historic Park and the Western National Parks Association, as well as at numerous historical sites throughout the Arizona.
