Before the battle

Need to research, I believe the California Column did not travel along the entire Butterfield Stage route From Yuma AZ to El Paso TX as a single unit of 1500 to 2800 men and supplies. It moved in smaller groups. The Capture_of_Tucson_(1862) happened on 20 May 1862. Advanced elements of the Column reached the abandoned Fort Thorn on the Rio Grand on 4 July 1862. The Apache Pass battle was on 24 July and involved 140 men of two companies of the California Column. I assume that these two companies were a typical traveling group that the Apaches decided to attack.Rcollman (talk) 12:49, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apache casualty numbers

Given the primary sources give between 10-63 Apache killed in the article itself, I see no reason to trust an obscure encyclopedia over primary sources in order to list the tally as 66 Apache killed.Cheetaiean (talk) 23:45, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
