One of many army scouts of mixed racial origin, Jesus Garcia Mariano Medina, had French, Apache, and Spanish blood flowing through his veins. He was born in Taos, New Mexico in 1812 and his ability as a scout was realised whilst working with Kit Carson in 1842.

During the Mormon Rebellion of 1857-1858 he was also to prove valuable in accompanying a small command from Fort Bridger during the winter south to New Mexico for fresh supplies, horses and reinforcements. After a march of 51 days through harsh winter conditions, the column arrived at Fort Massachusetts in New Mexico. They were to return with supplies and reinforcements on June 9th 1858.

Medina was to die of natural causes in 1878, living out the rest of his life as a trader.
