Back when I was growing up we didn't have the distractions that are available today. When it was rainy in the summer or we had a snow day, we would entertain ourselves with board games. Out of many, my favorite was STRATEGO. It was similar to Chess and Capture the Flag. The game pieces had a head shot of military personnel, such as Scout, Miner, Sergeant or Marshall and each piece had a corresponding number on it. Miners were number 8 and Marshall was number 1. Additionally, a Marshall could take any other numbered piece, Captains could take Lieutenants and lower. There were also pieces marked with a Flag, Bombs, that took out anyone but a Miners, Spies that could capture the Flag, The ultimate goal was to protect your Flag from capture and capture the opposing player's Flag. This set of caches will emulate that game.
The Apache Scouts were part of the United States Army Indian Scouts. Most of their service was during the Apache Wars, between 1849 and 1886, though the last scout retired in 1947. The Apache scouts were the eyes and ears of the United States military and sometimes the cultural translators for the various Apache bands and the Americans. Apache scouts also served in the Navajo War, the Yavapai War, the Mexican Border War and they saw stateside duty during World War II. There has been a great deal written about Apache scouts, both as part of United States Army reports from the field and more colorful accounts written after the events by non-Apaches in newspapers and books. Men such as Al Sieber and Tom Horn were sometimes the commanding officers of small groups of Apache Scouts. As was the custom in the United States military, scouts were generally enlisted with Anglo nicknames or single names. Many Apache Scouts received citations for bravery.
