Hiatorical data and remarks 



These were but a single band of the numerous bands of Western Shoshoni. 

 The boundaries here defined formed a portion of the general Shoshoni coun- 

 try, and were also taken possession of by the U. S. without formal punhase, 

 as set forth in the note opposite the treaty of Oct. 1, 1863, with the Western 

 Shoshoni. But inasmuch as a separate treaty was concluded with the 

 Shoshoni-Goship specitically defining their boundaries, their country is here 

 shown as a separate tract. 



The Navaho were subsoriueutly removed to this reserve. Difficulties ensning 

 between the two tribes, the Apache, in 186."), abandoued the reserve. In 1868,

 to a new reserve iherein jjrovided for them, and the Bosque Keilondo reserve
