situated some three miles south of the line of the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad, and not many miles from the Arizona border.
Department head-quarters are situated here, and a garrison of nine
companies, mostly of the Sixth United States Cavalry, and one
company of Indian scouts is constantly maintained. This large
force is considered necessary to guard against any possible
outbreak of the Navajo Indians, who roam over an extensive
reservation, embracing nearly twenty thousand square miles of
territory in northwestern New Mexico and northeastern Arizona. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
