Apache George – Old Acquaintance and Protector in Deming

Lead
Apache George was an old acquaintance who protected a narrator and his party from a hostile crowd in Deming, New Mexico, and assisted them in obtaining supplies [1][3].

After recognizing an old friend in the party, Apache George took them under his protection and made the crowd back down [1]. The narrator reported feeling immediately easier once under Apache George’s wing [2]. When the party expressed a wish to buy a wagon, team, and camping outfit, Apache George offered to help, leading them to a dilapidated tent and instructing them to wait there until he returned [3].
