Mr. Colyer says “The first Indian chief who came into this post last spring and asked to be allowed to live at peace was Es-kim-in-zin. He was the leader of his people and, up to the time of the massacre, was as peaceable and contented as a man could be. HE HAD TWO WIVES, FIVE CHILDREN AND ABOUT FIFTY OF HIS PEOPLE (RELATIVES) KILLED IN THE MASSACRE and this seems to have partially crazed him.
“He came in after the attack and, assisting in the burial of his family, seemed reconciled. But, BY A VERY UNFORTUNATE BLUNDER, some troops from the White Mountains who came down the Arivaipa Valley nearly a month after the massacre, getting frightened at unexpectedly coming upon some of the Indians who had peaceably returned, opened fire upon them. IT WAS ES-KIM-IN-ZIN AND HIS FAMILY.
“At this he became enraged, and bidding Lieutenant Whitman a formal goodbye, fled with his people to the mountains, and, it is said, killed a white man on his way.”
