"Group of Mescalero Apaches taken at Santa Fe about forty [sic] years ago. Shows Mescalero costume, beads, water jugs, tepees, etc. White man is Major Llewelyn, Agent, of whose administration the less said the better. The same applied to all Mescalero agents with the exception of that of James A. Carrol who was there from 1902 to 1913. He was the first and only one to realize that Indians are human beings."--E.
