"In 1867, the Band of Indians consisted of over 1500 people, between 400 and 500 fighting men; they were a wild, capable, implacable foe...They were relentlessly pursued by me for two years, and in 1869, surrendered and asked for peace; several of their prominent men were sent to San Francisco in irons, and remained for months as prisoners on Alcatraz and Angel Islands...They were thoroughly subdued, and...sent to the Colorado River Reservation; being Mountain Indians they died there very rapidly; they sent word to General (George) Crook that they did not want to fight, but that they could not live there, that they would rather die fighting on their native mountains than sicken and die as they were doing on the river bottom." Lieutenant Colonel William Price, United States Army
