Both men and officers were new to this blind and frightful warfare of the savage in his native woods. To charge the Indians in their hiding-places would have been useless. They would have eluded pursuit with the agility of wildcats, and swarmed back, like angry hornets, the moment that it ceased. The Virginians alone were equal to the emergency.

If careful watch is then kept and the relations of the pairs closely studied, there will be no difficulty in observing the particular kind of warfare to which I am alluding, and it will be noticed that the encounters are of a particularly violent description.

And one day a daring soldier slipped out from our sand pit in search of food anything to eat in place of that rotting horseflesh. In the bushes at the end of the island, he found a few wild plums.

I do not know on which one the Sabbath fell, for God has no holy day in the Plains warfare.

During such visits as he paid to the stronghold in lulls of the border warfare, Jeffords got to know much of Cochise's history, of his grievances, and of his point of view.
