Nook-ay-det-klinne

The text varies: at the outset, the Apache leader is identified as Nook-ay-det-klinne. Thereafter, he is identified as Nock-ay-det-klinne. For consistency, these are all shown as Nock-ay-det-klinne.

Also, it appears that quotations have been taken from optically-scanned but not corrected texts. For example, 'I' appears as '1'. Where these scanning issues were noticed, correction was made. Generally, specific citations should be made to the original text. Fconaway (talk) 01:04, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

John Byrnes

John Byrnes, who killed the medicine man with the ax, was my great great grandfather. He was the designated "Scout" for Company A. We have family stories about this event handed down by his only child, my great grandmother. John didn't think much of the commanding officer, despite his civil war record. He felt he was a naive easterner, arrogant, and that he didn't understand the Apache (John was proved right). John blamed the officer for the bad decision to arm the native troopers in Company A, which contributed to much of the loss of life. Note, John passed away from pneumonia contracted while pursuing the renegade Apaches in the year following the battle. His widow, Rosabelle Allred Byrnes, took their daughter, Maybelle, and relocated to the Gila Valley area where she later remarried a man named Dodge and had more children. Maybelle Byrnes (Lambson) lived to be 105 and was the "last surviving Arizona Pioneer" when she died.
