Chas. Dickens (Apache student, Ramona and Carlisle schools)
Dickens, an Apache Indian boy, was among the Geronimo sympathizers sent from San Carlos to Fort Union [1]. About a year before August 1891, he was brought to Santa Fe in shackles and turned over to the training of the Ramona School [1]. At Ramona, Dickens and fellow Apache student Mark Hopkins displayed deep interest in their studies and progressed enough to warrant sending them to a higher school [1].
