Because he fought against such daunting odds and held out the longest, he became the most famous Apache of all. To the pioneers and settlers of Arizona and New Mexico, he was a bloody-handed murderer and this image endured until the second half of this century. • Some attributed his numerous raiding successes to powers conferred by supernatural beings, including a reputed invulnerability to bullets.
