Excerpt from Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs: For the Year 1864 Superintendent Poston made no attempt to open communication with the Apaches, who are bitterly hostile to the whites, and constantly engaged in at tacks upon trains of emigrants and the new mining settlements, or in forays upon the peaceable and friendly tribes. Until these savages are brought by the strong hand of military force to submission, it will be impracticable to Open any relations with them, and time and money would be wasted in attempting it. The apache-mojaves are a nomadic band, made up of renegades from both of those tribes, and occupying themselves much in the same manner as the Apaches; but hopes are entertained that most of them may be influenced to join and remain with the Mojaves, who are friendly and peaceable.
