Description

Apache Indian scouts and a U.S. Army soldier tracking the "Apache Kid."

Es-ki-bi-nadel, or Haskay-bay-nay-ntayl (b. 1860 – d. circa 1894), is better known as the "Apache Kid." He was born in Aravaipa Canyon (25 miles) south of San Carlos into one of the three local groups of the Aravaipa/Arivaipa Apache Band (in Apache:Tsee Zhinnee - ″Dark Rocks People″) of San Carlos Apache. As a member of what the U.S. Government called the "SI band".  Kid developed important skills, became a famous and respected scout and later a notorious renegade active in the borderlands of the U.S. states of Arizona and New Mexico in the late 19th and possibly the early 20th centuries.

His exact date of birth is unknown, but he is believed to have been born sometime in the 1860s. His year of death is generally given as 1894, but some New Mexico cattle ranchers claimed he was alive until the 1930s. The Apache Kid Wilderness in New Mexico is named after him.
