Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:
We here have little chance for glory or advancement. While some of our brother officers are leading their well-publicized campaigns against the great Indian nations - The Sioux and the Cheyenne - we are asked to ward off the gnat stings and flea bites of a few cowardly 'digger Indians'. Captain Yorke:
Your pardon, Colonel. You'd hardly call Apaches 'digger Indians', sir. Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:
You'd scarcely compare them with The Sioux, Captain. Captain Yorke:
No, I don't. The Sioux once raided into Apache territory. Old-timers told me you could follow their line of retreat by the bones of their dead. Lt. Col. Owen Thursday:
I suggest the Apache has deteriorated since then, judging by a few of the specimens I've seen on my way out here. Captain Yorke:
Well, if you saw them, sir, they weren't Apaches
