Most likely the same Dr. White:
Farish, Thomas Edwin. History of Arizona, Filmer Bros. Electrotype Co., 1918, volume 7, pages 7-8: “... White thought their manner of life, general physique, and mental disposition seemed conducive to long life. ... White supposed that they had immigrated into Arizona from New Mexico three or four generations back. ...";
page 9: :... Bands, according to White, were formed of clans, and chiefs were chosen for their ability and courage, although there is evidence that chieftainship was sometimes hereditary, as in the case of Cochise, who appointed his oldest son his successor, which was confirmed or ratified by the tribe. ...";
page 10: "... According to White, the children belong to the gens of the father, while Bourke asserts that the true clan system prevails. They married usually outside of the gens, according to White, and never relatives nearer than a second cousin. ...";
page 14: "... White, for several years a surgeon at Fort Apache, says that they [Pinal Coyoteros] have soft, musical voices, uttering each word in a sweet, pleasant tone. ..."
