Dutchy (Apache scout)
About
Dutchy, (ca. 1855 – 12 March 1893), born Bakeitzogie, meaning Yellow Coyote, was a Chiricahua and Apache scout who served with Lieutenant Britton Davis during the Apache wars. In the early 1870s, Dutchy's father killed a white man and fled to the hills. According to Britton Davis, Dutchy was then persuaded to kill his father by a religious man who urged Dutchy to save his and his father's souls. Davis describes how rumors described Dutchy returning the next day with his father's head. As a member of the Chatto raiding party, Dutchy raided southern Arizona, surrendering to Davis at San Carlos. After being held at Fort Thomas, Dutchy ended up being a trustworthy scout, and he ended up being selected as Emmet Crawford's body-servant. He enlisted on 13 March 1884. He served as a scout with Emmet Crawford and was promoted to sergeant of scouts. Dutchy continued as a scout until late in 1886 until he was indicted by the United States Grand Jury in November 1884 for the murder of Jacob Samuel Ferrin near San Carlos in July 1883. He was beaten to death on 12 March 1893 during a drunken brawl with white soldiers.
