Abstract
This work is an historical account of U.S. government-Apache relations in New Mexico and Arizona during the period of 1846-1886 following the Mexican War. Much of the data have been gathered from manuscripts in the National Archives, and further supplemented by other published works such as government documents and published primary and secondary materials. In the first part of the source the author presents a brief discussion of the band organization of the Western Apache, including information on location and population size. The remainder of the source deals chiefly with the Coyoteros, Pinals and Tontos in terms of their raiding and warfare activities and their relations to the U.S. government. A brief discussion is also presented on the reservation program instituted by the government as a means of Apache pacification.
