"Chipeta...never for a moment wavered in her loyalty to what she thought the right and from the first used all her influence for peace...She saw that war meant the murder of hundreds of whites and the extermination of her own people..."
– Margaret T. Adams, wife of Charles Adams, Los Pinos Indian Agent
