Mark Hopkins: Apache student from Ramona to Carlisle
Dickens, Apache boys, were among the Geronimo sympathizers sent from San Carlos to Fort Union [1][2]. About a year before August 1891, they were brought to Santa Fe in shackles and turned over to the Ramona School [1][2]. There they displayed deep interest in their studies and progressed enough to warrant a higher school [1][2]. In early August 1891, they left for Carlisle School, where they were to remain for a year or two [1][2].
