This report is intelligent and exciting including a potentially deadly encounter on March 17, 1849 in which five bands of Apache warrior, about 200 in all, surrounded the dozen or so soldiers. A friendly chief, Cigarrito, extricated them from the extremely hostile chief of the whole band. The next day Cigarrito showed them Limpia Canyon which provides a good passage across the whole rugged range now known as the Davis Mountains. (My father, Ernest Jesse Palmer (1875-1962) used Limpia Canyon as his base for two (spring and fall) thrilling and successful botanical exploration trips in 1926. He published the results in the Journal of the Arnold Arboretum in 1927.)
