Excerpt from The Apache Prisoners in Fort Marion, St. Augustine, FloridaApaches. About 15 of them were warriors, and the remainder women and children. Lieutenant-colonel Loomis L. Langdon, commanding the post at St. Augustine, August 23d, 1886, makes the following statement But as for the men, they do absolutely nothing, as a rule, beyond the necessary police of the old fort. They have no work.But in justice to the men it must be said it is the unanimous verdict of all those who have anything to do with them that every man of them would willingly work if he had any work given him to do and was shown how to do it.It really seems, then, that the time has come to consider the question, what is to be done with these prisoners? In the nature of things they cannot remain prisoners here until they all die.Therefore I respectfully recommend that the whole party of prisoners be sent as soon as possible to Carlisle, Pennsylvania.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
