"One thing about the southwestern
Indian is that he can endure what
would kill three white men. In our
pursuit of Geronimo we at one time
went without water for forty-eight
hours. All over the country are deep
holes in the rock, in which water col
lects during the rainy season and
stands all the year round until the
next downpour, an it was upon such
places that we had to depend for our
supply of water. You have no idea or
what the water in these holes is like.
1t fairly swarms with tadpoles and
wiggle-tails but to us it tasted sweet
enough. Whenever we reached these
natural wells, Captain Lawton used to
place guard around them to prevent
the men from wasting the water, which
was doled out by sergeant as long as
it lasted, Sometimes, when we woulu
camp in the bed of dnied-up creek,
the men would spend the night digging
holes in the sand. in which about a
pint of water would collect in three or
four hours.
"The vegetation OF the Apache coun-
try is peculiar in that nearly every
growing thing has thorns on It. The
result was that long before the six
months of our campaign was ended.
over half of our command were partly
naked. All had was pair OF pants
and shoes and ragged hat, the rest
of my clothing having been torn into
shreds. 1t used to amuse me when
