the upper San Francisco river, about five days’ journey north of the Gila. The Apaches 
acknowledge them as belonging to the same great tribe as themselves. They are the Indians 
who carried off the unfortunate Inez Gonzales, whose story forms so romantic an episode in Mr. 
Bartlett's ‘‘ Personal Narrative."' 
That the Apaches and their congeners belong to the Athapascan family, which extends across 
the northern portion of the continent from Hudson’s Bay almost to the Pacific ocean, I have 
shown in a paper read before the American Ethnological Society, and published in the Literary 
World of April 17, 1852. Mr. Hale had already shown that small fragmentary tribes belong- 
ing to this widely extended stock reach down, near the shores of the Pacific, as far south as the 
Umkwa river. From the Hoopah vocabulary, since published in Mr. Schoolcraft’s work, it is 
evident that these people wandered still further in the same direction—at least as far as the

learned and highly irt treatise on the Athapascan family of eweg Agde gg AP Sprachstamm dargestellt ` 
von Joh. Carl Ed. Buschmann,) printed in Berlin in the present year. Dr. mentions repeatedly (pp. 154, 254) 
that the discovery of the Alia gii an relationship of the Apache tva is Ca ee me ; M he claims at the same time, as his 
own discovery, the fact that a similar xe amp. exists between the Athapascans proper and the Navajos. This claim, 
however, cannot be admitted ; because in the above-mentioned paper, published in the Literary World, I treat both of the 
Apaches and of ‘their congeners she Mites " The affinity of the Apaches and Navajos had been repeatedly asserted by 
Spanish and American writers. I need quote only the excellent authority of Gregg. He says: “The Lap wild tribes 
which inhabit or extend their incursions or peregrinations upon the territory of New Mexico are the Navajóes, e Apaches,
