Accompanied only by a guide and two Apache scouts, they sought to convince Cochise that the bloody fighting between his people and the Americans must stop. Cochise had already reached that conclusion, but he had found no American official he could trust.Slade, Howards devoted aide, maintained a journal during their two-month quest from Fort Tularosa, New Mexico, to Cochises stronghold.
