Espejo was known as a formidable Mescalero chief. Two of his skirmisches are listed: 1) Apaches Attack a Mail Train Near Escondido Springs Date: Late April 1866 Time Period: Texas Statehood 1846- Description: Mescalero Apaches led by chiefs Espejo and Jose Cigarito attack a mail train in the vicinity of Escondido Springs (present-day Tunas Springs). The initial skirmish turns into a two-day siege that ends in an Apache retreat. It is unclear how many died or were wounded in the attack. 2) Mescalero Apaches Attack Mail Wagon Date: July 7, 1866 Time Period: Texas Statehood 1846- Description: Chief Espejo leads dozens of Mescalero Apaches in an attack on a mail wagon in Limpia Canyon, fifteen miles northwest of Fort Davis.
