General Crook assumed command of the Department in June 1870, and immediately took the field in person. He had a long experience in fighting and managing Indians on the frontier, and had invariably crowned his efforts with success. It was for this reason the President of the United States, agreeable to the wishes of every friend of the Territory, placed him in command. He was brave and energetic against those who want war, and just and humane towards those who want peace. In this way he commanded the love and confidence of the latter, and soon convinced the former that it is useless to continue the contest. He had the entire confidence of the people of Arizona, and if supported, and allowed to mature and execute his plans, a permanent peace will soon be given to this long afflicted country.
