This was the last stronghold of the Great native American Apache Chief Cochise. Greatly out numbered and out gunned, Cochise and the strongest of his warriors held up in the most remote of theses mountains, where they were intentionally starved and shot like dogs for title to their land.
'' 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." Words of Cochise
