Abstracts

This thesis will examine the Victorio Campaign of 1879-1881 and the change in US-Mexican border management that resulted from that campaign. This campaign included numerous border crossings from both Apache and American militaries. These crossings showed how fluid a landscape the border region was and how important a controlled border was in the eventual defeat of Victorio. These crossings eventual resulted in Mexican and American armies cooperating to defeat Victorio. This cooperation included an authorized border crossing of the Americans into Mexico in September and Octoberof 1880. The defeat of Victorio also resulted in a change for the Apaches. Victorio was replaced by Nana as the main leader. Apache resistance also dramatically decreased because of the cross-border campaign in September and October1880. The cross-border campaign in the Victorio campaign changed border management for all the parties involved in the Victorio Campaign. Keywords: Apache, US-Mexican Border, Native American Wars
