The Battle at Apache Pass is a 1952 American Western film directed by George Sherman. The stars are John Lund as United States Army Maj. Colton and Jeff Chandler (in brownface) repeating the role of Apache chief Cochise, whom he had played two years earlier in 20th Century Fox's Broken Arrow.[2] Jay Silverheels also reprised his role of Geronimo from the same film.
The film is a highly fictionalized account combining the events of "The Bascom Affair" of 1861 and the "Battle of Apache Pass" of 1862, the first time that Native Americans met modern (for the age) artillery. It was rated as the #1 moneymaker in Variety magazine's list of box-office pictures, when it was released in April 1952.[3]
