Mimbreno

It did cross my mind, though, as something to have done, if you follow me-as I wrote for The Field, it's a nice point which trophy on your wall does you greater credit, the head of a pretty, gentle impala, or a switch of hair marked "Mimbreno Apache, Gila forest, '49".

Mangas: He came to me after we Mimbreno rode a raid into Sonora with Hashkeela of the Coyoteros, who is husband to my second daughter -- she is not so fair as Sonsee-array, by the way.

Another Indian was crawling about, examining the ground, and presently comes up to Gallantin and says: "Mimbreno."

"You trade in Mimbreno scalps to the Mexicanos!" he croaked.

She stood silent by me, and Mangas by the spirit-chief, whose headdress barely topped the Mimbreno giant.

Myself, I think they're damned cunning, the Apaches; you may know that in Turkey at wedding feasts they have a plump and voluptuous female who writhes about half-naked in front of the groom to put him in trim for the wedding-night; it's my belief that the Mimbreno are far subtler than that.

Heard there was an English scalp-hunter wintering with the Mimbreno, married to Red Sleeves 'girl -- thought it was just Injun talk till you rode up that valley with paint on your face.

I'd been a model, if reserved, son-in-law, Sonsee-array was clearly infatuated, and what pinda-lickoyee, honoured by admission to the Mimbreno and marriage to the Morning Star, would be so half-witted as to want to return to his own people?

The small chap shook his head and pointed down the valley; there was another crashing volley, followed by screams and the neighing of horses and the crack of single shots; even in my pain and bewilderment I concluded that some stout lads were decreasing the Mimbreno population most handily-and the nearest Apache rolled his eyes, yelled bloody murder, and he and his mate came at me like tigers, hatchets foremost.

As leader of the Mimbreno, Mangas showed great skill in unifying the Apache people, partly through marriage alliances; three of his daughters by the beautiful Mexican lady became wives of the Coyotero, Chiricahua, and White Mountains clans; one of his sons-in-law was the celebrated Cochise.
