or tlie true I^ortli American redskins. They say tliem- 

 selyes tliat they are related to the former, and their arts as 

 well as their faces would, I think, rather tend to lead us to 

 the same conclusion. Those figured at page 147 look far 

 more like Southern than Northern Indians, and the woodcut 

 is a good copy of a photograph. 



While the Kayajos spread terror and desolation tlirough 



the north and east of New Mexico, the Apaches followed 



the same system of plunder in the southern part of the 



state, and thi'oughout Arizona and Northern Sonora; with 



this great difference, that amongst the former booty was 



tlieii- only object, and they spared life unless resistance was 



offered ; but with the latter war to the death was, and still 



is, their undeviating practice. In battle the Navajo never 



stoops to scalp his fallen enemy, and many acts of true 



generosity are related of him; but the cowardly Apache 



creeps upon his victim like a snake in the grass ; if he can 



captm-e him he invariably tortures him to death, but 



otherwise he scalps and mutilates^, him in the most hon'ihle 



mamier, and has never been kno^\Ti to show the smallest trace 



either of humanity or good faith. 



, Several independent though kindred tribes are rightly
