What kind of warriors behave in this manner? The stupidity of his foe confounded him. Perhaps they are trying to trick me, he thought. But he knew no Apache leader could turn away from such a stirring challenge, such a tempting target.
Meanwhile, below, the U.S. captain in command of the dusty blue-coated column tried to stay alert for signs of the Apache. But it was hard to keep himself or his men from sliding into stupefied weariness, so sure were they all that this hunt, like all the hunts before it, would be fruitless. Once again the Indians surely had split up and vanished as if into thin air. Once again the finest fighting force in the U.S. Army would return to post with unfired weapons and wounded pride.
Before the day was done, both Apache warrior and U.S. soldier would learn a lesson about each other that they would never forget …
