Massai - Chiricahua Apache In 1886, Massai, Goyathlay, and other Apache dissidents surrendered to the U.S. Army. Subsequently, Massai became one of the Apache prisoners scheduled to be taken to Fort Marion, Florida. In Kansas, while en route to Florida, he escaped from the train and made his way back to Arizona. There he seized a Mescalero Apache woman and engaged in raids on Mexican and white settlements for supplies and food. For over twenty years, he eluded the army and the law in Arizona and Mexico. Mickey Free, the noted army scout, pursued him unsuccessfully during this time. Massai Canyon and Massai Point in the Chiricahua National Monument in Arizona derive their names from him..
