United States Army Scouts: the Southwestern 3-/71 UNITED STATES ARMY SCOUTS: THE SOUTHWESTERN EXPERIENCE, 1866-1890 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Carol Conley Nance, B. A. Denton, Texas May, 1975 Nance, Carol Conley, United States Army Scouts: The Southwestern Experience, 1866-1890. Master of Arts (History), May, 1975, 156 pp., 4 maps, bibliography, 107 titles. In the post-Civil War Southwest, the United States Army utilized civilians and Indians as scouts. As the mainstay of the reconnaissance force, enlisted Indians excelled as trackers, guides, and fighters. General George Crook became the foremost advocate of this service. A little-known aspect of the era was the international controversy created by the activities of native trackers under the 1882 recipro- cal hot pursuit agreement between Mexico and the United States. Providing valuable information on Army scouts are numerous government records which include the Annual Report of the Secretary of War from 1866 to 1896 and Foreign Relations of the United States for 1883 and 1886. Memoirs, biographies, and articles in regional and national histori- cal journals supplement government documents. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF MAPS . iv Chapter I.

Mexico, 1886 . 141A iv CHAPTER I THE SOUTHWEST: CONVENTIONAL ARMY, UNCONVENTIONAL ENEMY In April 1865 the American people, grateful that the nightmare of civil war had ended, little dreamed that the Army of their reunited nation faced a series of frontier wars just as terrifying to its participants and lasting six times longer than the war just concluded. The western states and territories would become the new battleground as whites and Indians fought for permanent control of the West. Accustomed to enemies who shared common methods of warfare, American soldiers faced Indians whose combat tactics not only differed from those of the soldiers, but who also knew the country for which they battled and could cope with the harsh geographical conditions imposed by nature throughout much of western America. To combat Indian warriors possessing such essential knowledge and skills, the Army needed men who were familiar with Indians and their natural environment. After the Civil War, most soldiers did not meet the require- ments; therefore, the Army employed civilians and friendly Indians as scouts. 1 2 The southwestern region of the United States, in which many Army scouts lived and served, can be described geographi- cally as a series of increasingly elevated plateaus slashed by canyons and ribbed by numerous mountain ranges from the Panhandle and the Trans-Pecos regions of Texas westward to the Colorado plateau of Arizona, and then southward along the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico. The ascent of the tablelands begins in the Texas Panhandle. To the east of the generally level Staked Plains, the land is rough and broken, the handiwork of rivers and their tributaries as the watercourses descend from the higher plain. On the Staked Plains, the rivers with their numerous branches continue to carve the surface, the Canadian River sculpting gentle valleys with ample timber, water, and grazing, while the Red River cuts deep canyons into the plains.2 To the west and southwest of the Panhandle, the terrain becomes increasingly harsh and elevated. The Trans-Pecos 1Although the geographical Southwest includes parts of Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada, the area referred to in this work as the Southwest consists only of the territory within the present-day states of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. 2 Joe F.

Mountains rising to elevations of 5,000 to 13,000 feet above sea level dominate the landscape. Here, also, rivers carve canyons and valleys into the plateaus.4 Running in a north-south direction in the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua are the Sierra Madre Mountains, rising from 2,000 to 12,000 feet in altitude. In Sonora is located the western slope of the Sierra Madre range, for decades a favorite stronghold of renegade Apaches with its impassable canyons and high precipitous ridges. 5 3U.S.,Congress, House, Annual Report of the Secretary of War, H.

Forts abounded in the Southwest, their construction in Indian territory being part of the overall strategy of the Army. The purpose of the forts was to prevent or end raids, but the Army simply did not have enough soldiers to man them.6 If the Army had maintained its numerical strength following the Civil War and had used that strength against the western tribes, the nature of the Indian wars would probably have been radically different. The Army could have overwhelmed the Indians by sheer numbers, thus rendering the contributions of scouts less important. Shortly after the end of the Civil War, the Army began to shrink in size from approximately 1,000,000 men in 1865 to approximately 35,000 in 1870, then to approximately 25,000 in 1874, the size at which the Army remained until after the close of the Indian wars. The number of troops stationed 6U.S.,Congress, House, Annual Report of the Secretary of War, H. Doc. 1, 39th Cong., 1st sess., Serial No. 1249, 1865, p. 14; Robert M.

Texas, with its exceptionally long frontier, averaged approximately 3,100 men, and Arizona and New Mexico averaged approximately 1,700 and 1,200 men respectively. The highest levels of troop concentration reached in both territories corresponded with the increased activity of hostile Apaches in the early 1870's and most of the 1880's. Troop concentration in Texas remained high from the beginning of the Reconstruction period to the early 1880's when Indian depredations ceased. In the 25 years following the Civil War, companies from 9 cavalry regiments and 22 infantry regiments served in the Southwest.8 In addition to the limited number of troops available for duty in the Southwest, a major weakness of military strategy was the Army's insistence on using conventional methods in what was in reality an unconventional war. During the 1870's and 1880's, the aim of military campaigns against Indians was to subdue and place them on reservations. To accomplish this aim effectively, the Army depended heavily 8 Information on troop concentration and assignments of cavalry and infantry companies are based on figures included in the Adjutant General's reports in the Annual Report of the Secretary of War for the years 1866 and 1869 through 1892. 6 on surprise attacks on Indian encampments by converging columns of infantry and cavalry. The logistics of a campaign called for the transportation of supplies by wagons pulled by slow-moving mules or oxen.9 To achieve success in the Southwest, the military had to adapt its strategy to meet the problems posed by the extremes of geography, the need for mobility, and the nature of the enemy. Although coveted by the Army, the advantage of surprise belonged to the Indians. By observing military traffic on the plains and in the valleys from safe, incon- spicuous mountain lookouts, Indians could decide whether to attack or hide, then remove themselves to places chosen especially for ambush or refuge. Also, hostile Indians inhabited areas that were usually remote, inaccessible, or unknown to whites,.1 0 Tactics required swift military pursuit, but on foot the infantry was ineffectual in rough terrain. Extremes of heat and cold and scarcity of water and forage exposed the lack of endurance of both men and horses.

  • Teacher’S Guide Teacher’S Guide Little Bighorn National Monument
    LITTLE BIGHORN NATIONAL MONUMENT TEACHER’S GUIDE TEACHER’S GUIDE LITTLE BIGHORN NATIONAL MONUMENT INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Teacher’s Guide is to provide teachers grades K-12 information and activities concerning Plains Indian Life-ways, the events surrounding the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the Personalities involved and the Impact of the Battle. The information provided can be modified to fit most ages. Unit One: PERSONALITIES Unit Two: PLAINS INDIAN LIFE-WAYS Unit Three: CLASH OF CULTURES Unit Four: THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876 Unit Five: BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN Unit Six: IMPACT OF THE BATTLE In 1879 the land where The Battle of the Little Bighorn occurred was designated Custer Battlefield National Cemetery in order to protect the bodies of the men buried on the field of battle. With this designation, the land fell under the control of the United States War Department. It would remain under their control until 1940, when the land was turned over to the National Park Service. Custer Battlefield National Monument was established by Congress in 1946. The name was changed to Little Bighorn National Monument in 1991. This area was once the homeland of the Crow Indians who by the 1870s had been displaced by the Lakota and Cheyenne. The park consists of 765 acres on the east boundary of the Little Bighorn River: the larger north- ern section is known as Custer Battlefield, the smaller Reno-Benteen Battlefield is located on the bluffs over-looking the river five miles to the south. The park lies within the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana, one mile east of I-90.

  • Chiricahuas Present a Verdant, Forested Island in a Sea of Desert
    Rising steeply from the dry grasslands of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, the Chiricahuas present a verdant, forested island in a sea of desert. Many species of trees, shrubs, and flowering herbs clothe steep canyon walls. Shady glens, alive with birds, are sheltered by rows of strange massive spires, turrets, and battlements in this fascinating wonderland of rocks. Story of the rocks-What geological forces created these striking and peculiar pinnacles and balanced rocks? Geolo- gists explain that millions of years ago volcanic activity was extensive throughout this region. A series of explosive eruptions, alternating with periods of inactivity, covered the area with layers of white-hot volcanic ash that welded into rock. Because the eruptions varied in magnitude, the deposits were of different thicknesses. Finally, the eruptions ceased, followed by movements in the earth's crust which slowly lifted and tilted great rock masses to form mountains. The stresses responsible for the movements caused a definite pattern of cracks. Along the vertical cracks and planes of horizontal weakness, ero- sion by weathering and running water began its persistent work. Cracks were widened to form fissures; and fissures grew to breaches. At the same time, under-cutting slowly took place. Gradually the lava masses were cut by millions of ero- sional channels into blocks of myriad sizes and shapes, to be further sculptured by the elements. Shallow canyons became deeper and more rugged as time passed. Weathered rock formed soil, which collected in pockets; and plants thus gained a foothold. Erosion is still going on slowly and persistently among the great pillared cliffs of the monument.

VALUES IN TRANSITION: THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE FROM 1886-1914 John W Ragsdale, Jr.* Abstract Law confirms but seldom determines the course of a society. Values and beliefs, instead, are the true polestars, incrementally implemented by the laws, customs, and policies. The Chiricahua Apache, a tribal society of hunters, gatherers, and raiders in the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, were squeezed between the growing populations and economies of the United States and Mexico. Raiding brought response, reprisal, and ultimately confinement at the loathsome San Carlos Reservation. Though most Chiricahua submitted to the beginnings of assimilation, a number of the hardiest and least malleable did not. Periodic breakouts, wild raids through New Mexico and Arizona, and a labyrinthian, nearly impenetrable sanctuary in the Sierra Madre led the United States to an extraordinary and unprincipled overreaction.

Came to America with his parents as a small boy, settling for a time in Pennsylvania, then moved to Minnesota. Early in 1862 Sieber enlisted in Company B, First Minne- sota Volunteer Infantry, serving through the strenuous Penin- sula campaign of the Army of the Potomac as a corporal and a sharp-shooter. On July 2, 1863, on Gettysburg Battlefield, he was dangerously wounded in the head by a piece of shell, and while lying helpless and unattended on the field of battle a bul- let entered his right ankle and followed up the leg, coming out at the knee. He lay in the hospital until December, 1863, when he was transferred to the First Regiment of Veteran Reserves as a corporal, under Captain Morrison, and his regiment was ac- credited to the State of Massachusetts. When Sieber fell wound- ed on the field of Gettysburg, General Hancock, who was near him, was wounded at the same time. For Sieber 's service with this regiment the State of Massachusetts paid him the sum of $300 bounty.

During a century of settler influx, territorial changeovers, vigilante violence, and Indian removal, these two cousin tribes withstood an experience beyond individual pain best described as ethnotrauma. Rooted in racial persecution and mass violence, this ethnotrauma possessed layers of traumatic reaction that not only revolved around their ethnicity, but around their relationship with their home lands as well.

The old Stage Station at Riverside, on the south side of the Gila, across from and a little above Ray Junction, was a center for several converging stage lines. There was a corral where horses were kept to rest and to replace those jaded by long hauls of heavy stages. There was a good blacksmith shop for shoeing the stage horses and repairing vehicles. There was an inn of sorts and a post office. One building still remains in a fairly good state of preserva- tion, as shown in the illustration. This is visible to travelers on the highway to Winkelman, or on railroad trains But one who wishes to see it closely must ford the river, as the old road on the south bank is almost obliterated. This was once a main traveled road from Benson, on the Southern Pacific, through Mammoth and Dudleyville to Riverside, an all-night stop. A connecting route started from Riverside and went to Florence, 32 miles distant, then across to Casa Grande on the Southern Pacific.
