The native attack on Fort Apache, commanded by
Colonel
Eugene Asa Carr
, was a
counter-attack
in reprisal for the
Battle of Cibecue Creek
in which the notorious
medicine man
Nochaydelklinne
was killed. Some Arizona historians would consider the attack on Fort Apache to be a continuation of the Cibecue Creek engagement; however, the two battles occurred about forty miles from each other on opposite sides of the
Fort Apache Reservation
and occurred two days apart. The Apache army repeatedly attacked the fort from a long range with their rifles near
Whiteriver, Arizona
, firing volleys and scoring some hits.
Apaches near Fort Apache in 1873.
The U.S. cavalry and native allies fought back but the Apache remained at the end of their rifle range during the entire fight. The battle lasted until sunset after several Apache attacks had been repulsed by counter fire. Two days later, reinforcements from
Fort Thomas
on the
San Carlos Indian Reservation
arrived but by this time the Apaches had already retreated into hiding. Only three American soldiers were wounded and Apache casualties are unknown.
