The night is July 14th the year is 1881. The place is Fort Sumner New Mexico. In Pete Maxwell's bedroom. I had just escaped from Pat Garrett's jail in the Lincoln County courthouse.
I was in Fort Sumner to rest. Fort Sumner was home to me. It was late at night. I was hungry and I decided to go get something to eat.
I was unarmed and I was very unaware that Pat Garrett was there waiting for me in Pete Maxwell's bedroom I walked into Pete Maxwell's bedroom.
I called out these words that were to be the last words that I would say. The words were Quine es that is Spanish for who is it.
I heard Pat Garrett say that he was waiting for me. I turned to face him. He was pointing his gun at me.
We talked I said these words to Pat Garrett. I said I know your heart Pat Garrett the words that you said to me I have them in my heart.
It is cold we have no food and no blankets. Some of the regulators are dead and the other regulators have ran away into the hills and young Tom O'Folliard is missing.
I need time to go look for for him. Perhaps I will find him among the dead.
Then I turned my back to Pat Garrett and Looked up at the sky and said these words.
Hear me my chiefs I am tired my heart is sick and sad from where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.
Then Pat Garrett raised his gun shoots me and I fall to the ground.
I do not know what happened next because everything went dark.
You can be the judge of what happened next.
T
his is a picture of mine and Pat Garrett's final meeting
This is me what I turned to face Pat Garrett
this is me saying chief Joseph's speech
This is my grave at the graveyard at Fort Sumner.
