Quoted by Cochise

"When I was young I walked all over this country, east and west, and saw no other people than the Apaches. After many summers I walked again and found another race of people had come to take it. How is it?

We were once a large people covering these mountains. We lived well: we were at peace. One day my best friend was seized by an officer of the white men and treacherously killed. At last your soldiers did me a very great wrong, and I and my people went to war with them.

The worst place of all is Apache Pass. There my brother and nephews were murdered. Their bodies were hung up and kept there till they were skeletons.

Now Americans and Mexicans kill an Apache on sight. I have retaliated with all my might. My people have killed Americans and Mexicans and taken their property. Their losses have been greater than mine. I have killed ten white men for every Indian slain, but I know that the whites are many and the Indians are few. Apaches are growing less every day.

Why is it that the Apaches wait to die. . . . . That they carry their lives on their fingernails? They roam over the hills and plains and want the heavens to fall on them. The Apaches were once a great nation; they are now but few, and because of this they want to die and so carry their lives on their fingernails.

I am alone in the world. I want to live in these mountains; I do not want to go to Tularosa. That is a long way off. I have drunk of the waters of the Dragoon Mountains and they have cooled me: I do not want to leave here.

Nobody wants peace more than I do. Why shut me up on a reservation? We will make peace; we will keep it faithfully. But let us go around free as Americans do. Let us go wherever we please."

Mountaineering

Apakah bar itu?

bar adalah satuan untuk menggambarnya suatu tekanan.

1 bar = 100000 Newton/meter²

1 Newton = kg*gravitasi

Newton adalah satuan Standar Internasional (SI) turunan dengan lambang N, yang merupakan satuan dari gaya, dinamai dari Sir Issac Newton. Satu Newton adalah besarnya gaya yang diperlukan untuk membuat benda bermassa satu kilogram mengalami percepatan sebesar satu meter per detik. Seratus kilogram sama dengan 980 Newton.

Definisi

1 N = 1 kg.m.s²

Dengan mengambil gravitasi di bumi = 10 meter/s² (sebenarnya 9,806.65 m/s² atau 32, 174.05 kaki/detik²)

1 Newton = 0,1 kg

1 bar = 10 ton /meter²

Ini apaan, sih??
