32 x 40 in
Victorio (Bidu-ya, Beduiat; ca. 1825-October 14, 1880) The warrior Victorio, one of the greatest Apache military strategists of all time.Born in New Mexico around 1809, Victorio grew up during a period of intense hostility between the native Apache Native Americans of the southwest and encroaching Mexican and American settlers. Determined to resist the loss of his homeland, Victorio began leading his small band of warriors on a long series of devastating raids against Mexican and American settlers and their communities in the 1850s.After more than a decade of evading the best efforts of the Mexican and American armies to capture him, the U.S. Army managed to convince Victorio to accept resettlement of his people on an inhospitable patch of sunburnt land near San Carlos, Arizona, in 1869. But with summer temperatures reaching 110 degrees on the San Carlos reservation (an area also known as Hell's Forty Acres) and farming nearly impossible, Victorio decided the new reservation was unacceptable and moved his followers to more pleasant grounds at Ojo Caliente (Warm Springs), thus again becoming an outlaw in the eyes of the United States. In 1878, the U.S. Army attempted to force the Apaches back to the San Carlos reservation, but Victorio eluded capture, disappearing into the desert with 150 braves. Surviving by raiding the towns and farms of Chihuahua, Mexico, Victorio and his men began to ambush U.S. troops as well as Mexican or American sheepherders.In 1880, a combined force of U.S. and Mexican troops finally succeeded in tracking down Apache and his warriors, surrounding them in the Tres Castillos Mountains of Mexico, just south of El Paso, Texas. Having sent the American troops away, the Mexican soldiers proceeded to kill all but 17 of the trapped Apaches, though the exact manner of Victorio's death remains unclear. Some claimed a Native American scout employed by the Mexican army killed the famous warrior. But according to the Apache, Victorio took his own life rather than surrender to the Mexicans. Regardless of how it happened, Victorio's death made him a martyr to the Apache people and strengthened the resolve of other warriors to continue the fight. The last of the great Apache warriors, Geronimo, would not surrender until 1886.

Hooker Prop. / P.O. Willcox Arizona; and A Scene on the Sierra Bonita Ranch. / H.C. Hooker Prop. / P.O. Willcox Arizona; each 11.75 x 19.25 in. matted and framed 21 x 28.25 in.Henry Clay Hooker (1828-1907) sometimes referred to as "Colonel Hooker " first established the Sierra Bonita Ranch located in Graham and Cochise Counties near Willcox Arizona in 1872. From the time it was established the ranch was the largest in Arizona and although Hooker initially suffered heavy losses in both personnel and supplies as a result of Apache raids he eventually became the largest military beef supplier in Arizona. Hooker concentrated on purchasing the highest quality livestock and introduced Hereford cattle to Arizona. He also achieved financial gains by breeding carriage horses and draft animals for the freighting trade. His wide ranging businesses were instrumental to the development of Willcox. Hooker was also one of the few ranchers to survive the disastrous Drought of 1891.Before the Lincoln County War an unknown Billy the Kid was employed by Hooker. Wyatt Earp was a personal friend to Hooker as well and from 1881-1882 members of the Earp faction used the ranch to resupply during and after the Earp Vendetta Ride with Hooker's approval. Even in his later years Hooker took an active role in operating the ranch and at the time of his death in December 1907 on the Sierra Bonita Ranch he was considered the wealthiest rancher in Arizona. In 1964 the ranch was declared a National Historic Landmark and Hooker's descendants continue to operate the Sierra Bonita Ranch to this day. Condition: Light to moderate toning to photographs; the mats look like they have undergone some water damage.
