  • Notes 
    • She-gha was the 4th wife of Geronimo. On August 7, 1885, Wirt Davis' apache scouts attacked Geronimo's camp at Casa Grande, Chihuahua, Mexico and captured She-gha and her 3 year old daughter. A month and a half later, Geronimo made a raid on the White Mountain Indian Reservation and stole them back. She-gha was with him when he surrendered on September 4, 1886, but was sent first to Ft. Marion, while Geronimo was sent to Ft. Pickens. She-gha was later reunited with Geronimo at Ft. Pickens, where she died on September 24, 1886.
