Meanwhile, the Apaches were supposed to be fed and housed by their caretakers, but they rarely saw the federal money and suffered as a result.Ĭlum arrived at the reservation on August 4, 1874. As a result, tribal friends and foes were forced to live in close proximity to one another. Politicians also ignored political differences and military alliances and tried to apply a "one-size-fits-all" strategy to deal with the "Indian problem". The 8th Cavalry was stationed in Arizona during this time until 1875. Soldiers and their commanding officers sometimes brutally tortured or killed the Indians for sport while politicians in Washington, D.C., knew little about differences in tribal cultures, customs, and language. Army showed both animosity toward the Indians and disdain for the civilian Indian Agents. The church chose John Clum, who turned down the position twice before accepting the commission as Indian Agent for the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation in the Arizona Territory on February 16, 1874. The government gave various religious groups responsibility for managing the new reservations, and the Dutch Reformed Church was in charge of the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. Grant established the San Carlos Apache Reservation. On the positive side, San Remo is first ever rally to be won by a woman (Michele Mouton in 1981).Further information: Western Apache people and Apacheria Enraged swede flew through the stage to win by four seconds. In 1976 Lancia team boss Cesare Fiorio held up Bjorn Waldegard so that he would start into the final stage with same total time as Sandro Munari. That is not the only controversy in the history of the event. Event ran its course but posthumously lost its WRC status. That is why San Remo 1986 is NOT counted as WRC event in history books and statistics. FIA later that year confirmed that skirts were legal and annulled the results of the rally. Peugeot protested but were not allowed to continue. In 1986 rally stewards and scrutineers ruled that "skirts" of the Peugeot 205T16E2 were illegal and excluded all works Peugeots, handing easy victory to Lancia. In 2000, they called the event as a "rally on a racetrack" since each of the three legs used only two stages, each run twice on both directions.Ībove everything else, one incident makes San Remo notoriously historical. While trend in World Rallying has been towards ever more compact route, San Remo organisers have lately achieved miracles. Originally held both on dirt and asphalt roads but starting from 1997 rally has been all-tarmac event.
Continuously held from 1961, the rally has been part of the WRC every year since series started except in 1995. Rain is also constant threat, making tyre choice sometimes quite difficult.įirst held in 1928 and known as Rally of the Flowers, name that derived from spring date and area's flower farming background. Fall date means that roads are covered with fallen leaves and morning stages are often still slippery from humidity. Rally is currently held on twisty mountain roads (picture right bottom). It is also one of the reasons why San Remo has been under threat of being replaced, to reduce Mediterranean emphasis of the WRC. That is why the character of the event is very similar to that of Monte Carlo Rally. San Remo is just 30 kilometers east of Monaco as crow flies.
