CHAPTER VII

Fighting under Difficulties

We entered Mexico on the north line of Sonora and followed the Sierra de Antunez Mountains to the south end of the range. There we decided to attack a small village. (I do not know the name of this village.) At daylight we approached from the mountains.

  1. Geronimo had married again.
