In 1862, about 2000 men marched from California to Apache Pass. General James Carleton commanded them. They were trying to re-establish communications between the Pacific coast and the eastern United States.
Cochise had 500 Apache fighters hidden near Apache Pass. The Apaches attacked fiercely. Suddenly the Americans fired two large cannons. The Indians fled.
Mangas Coloradas, chief of the Chihenne Apaches, was badly wounded. He survived. Six months later, he tried to make a peace treaty with a group of American soldiers. He was taken prisoner, shot and killed. Mangas's murder confirmed Cochise's belief that Americans must never be trusted.1862年，由James Carleton将军带领的大约2000人的队伍从加利福尼亚出发前往印第安一族Apache的关口。他们试着重新建立太平洋沿岸和美国东部的联系。
Cochise 拥有500个Apache 族的战士隐藏在关口附近。他们激烈地进攻了闯入者，突然美国人开了两炮，这些印第安人才撤走了。Chihenne Apache一族的首领Mangas Coloradas受了重伤。不过他活了下来。6个月后，在他试着和一些美国士兵达成一个和平协议。被当做了俘虏杀死了。Mangas的死更加坚定了Cochise一族的观念，那就是美国人永远不值得信赖。
