Historians RoIIy To Defense

Reprinted from National OBJ

If he'd taken a flaming poker 20
a hornets nest, Atty Gen Robert
f. Kennedy couldn't have stirred up
more controversy in the sovereign
state of Texas. He also touched off
discussion among historians and
drew criticism from Republicans.
Said the Presidents brother: The
U. S.-MeXican war of 1846-4S was
'unjustified" and not very bright
page in American history"
The Kennedy comments came in
Diakarta, Indonesia last weeks
main stop on Mr. Kennedy's world
tour, when a student asked about
U. S. aggression" in the Mexican
War.
Texas Gov Price Daniel bristled.
Il cannot believe" said he, that
he intended to leave the impression
that he disapproved of the heroic
fight for freedom and liberty which
was made by Texans in 1886 and
the subsequent annexation agree
ment and defense thereof by the
United States"

Pulitzer Prize-historians Allan
Nevins and David Donald main
tanned Mexico must share the blame
for the war too. She had steadfast-
ly refused to negotiate long-stand-
ing border disputes with the U. 5.
Claims by American citizens in
Mexican territory of property seiz-
ures and other alleged offenses by
the Mexican government were ig-
nored
Said Professor Nevins: I think
the war was justified The Mex
leans thought they we're going to
defeat the United States. They had
an army that on paper was five
times larger than ours. The princi-
pal reason they refused to negotiate
was national pride" The attorney
general, he said, was entitled to his
view, which was the traditional
Massachusetts, view: That the L. s.
Mexican conflict was a Southern
war aimed at acquiring more terri
tory in which slavery could be prac-
ticed
Said Professor Donald: Twenty
five years ago, most U. S histori-
ans would have agreed with Mr.
Kennedy-but not now. The diaries
of President James X. Polk plus
continued research have led his
torians to the conclusion that Amer
ica's expansion plus the MeXicans
intransigence had rendered the CON
flict almost inevitable
AS Professor Nevins conceded.
however, Mr.. Kennedy's position IS
"tenable" For few foreign wars in
American history have so split pub
lic-and historical-opinion as the
21-month battle 1t ended with the
U. S. in possession Of the Republic
of Texas (which the U. S. had an
neXed in early 1845) plus a vast
area including the present states Of
California, Nevada, Arizona and
small parts of Montana and Wyom-
ing.
Although many people associate
the Alamo with the Mexican War,
that siege and the costly Mexican
victory actually occurred 10 years
before the official beginning of the
war with Mexico. In the Alamo's
aftermath, however, the Mexican
province of Texas broke free and
was recognized by the u S as an
Independent republic Agitation to
annex Texas began Immediately in
the u S. and relations between
Mexico and this country Worsened.

it is, however, that their lamb crop
is complete failure. and it would
seem that meagre justice demands
that they be reimbur sed for actual
losses.
In view of the above facts it is
apparent that the alleged object of
the order was a mere pretext and
that the real end in view was the
expulsion of the Navajos from a
region first occupied by them and
continuously used from time al
most immemorial as claimed by

ness men of the county told me in
a private interview that not more
than one-fourth of the people were

am also informed that many of
those who signed the petition were
transients without interest in the
affair or county. The allegations
in the petition that the lndi ans were
encro aching upon legal holdings
and tramping upon legal rights of
white settlers must certainly be
false, for the public domain is not
surveyed and consequently not sub
ject to entry; and, further, in TO
wise could entry be made on land
lying within the boundaries of the
National Park Reserve, and those
who have entered thereon are tres
passers without the shadow of a
legal right either to the land itself
or the alleged water developments.
1t is asserted by represent alive
citizens that the outrage commit
ted against the indi ans was the
elimination of a scheme concocted
by MIR. c.. H. Shulz, Chairman of
the Board of Supervisors, and his
right hand bower MIR. Jerry

every one hundred head of sheep
owned by them to him, at once, in

sheep are not worth 81 90 per

well known to the sheriff: but since
the payment of taxes was not the
object sought, the more unreaSon-

Navajos had any money, and their

Dear Sir:
In regard to the expulsion of the
Navajo Indians from public lands
lying south of the Little Colorado
River and east of the Grand Canon,
have the honor to report as fol-
lows, viz:
On the 1 9th day of January, 1897,
the Board of Supervisors of Co
conino County, Ariz., placed upon
the records the following order, to
wit: Ordered that the Assessor is
hereby authorized to employ nor
for the purpose of assessing the
property of Navajo Indians within
Coconino County.
(signed) C. H. Shulz,
Attest Chairman.
T. E. Pulliam,
Clerk.
Nothing appears ofrecord nam
ing the date on which the above
order should be executed or COM
piled with. nor was a copy thereof
ever issued to or served upon the
sheriff of the said county, who is
ex-officio assessor also. On the
day following the making of the
order, the 18th day of January,
being several weeks before the
time prescribed by law for making
assessments the sheriff, in obed-
fence to the said order which, by
his own admission, had never been
served upon him, employed the
number of men therein specified,
armed them which |
presume he took the words "and
furni shed" in the order to mean
and started out from Flagstaff, the
county seat, ostensibly to carry out
its commands, viz: to assess the
property of Navajo Indi ans in Co
conino County" Why it was deemed
necessary to employ SO many men
and arm them to the teeth to &C
complish SO simple and easy
task as assessing the Board of
Supervisors: but the fact that the
order was acted upon long before
the time set by law for leying as
sessments, coupled with the
avowed purpose and the real one
were very different. Manifestly
the real object was to drive the
Indians from a grazing country
they had been wont to use long be-
fore the white man came there,
and create the latter lord of all he
surveyed with his covetous eyes;
and this was accomplished, for the
Indians, in obedience to advice
from me never to resist, but to
refer troubles with white men to
me. or you. and wait for justice,
yielded and withdrew, though at the
point of the bayonet, SO to speak.
On the date of the issue of the
order there were sixteen Navajo
families residing and tending their
herds and flocks in the coveted
district, a portion of which is ad-
mitted to be within the boundaries
of the "Grand Canon National
Park" and On this national re-
serve most of the Indi ans we're de-
pasturing their stock, The sheriff
with his armed posse visited each
