Fort Bowie, in present-day Arizona, was established in 1862 at the site of the famous Battle of Apache Pass, where U.S. troops clashed with Apache chief Cochise and his warriors. The fort’s dual purpose was to guard the invaluable water supply at Apache Spring and to control Indians in the developing southwestern region. Douglas C. McChristian’s Fort Bowie, Arizona, spans nearly four decades to provide a fascinating account of the many complex events surrounding the small combat post. In a sweeping narrative, McChristian presents Fort Bowie in fresh contexts of national expansion and regional development, weaving in threads of early exploration, transcontinental railroad surveys, the overland mail, mining, ranching, and the conflict with the Apaches.

Excerpt from A Clash of Cultures: Fort Bowie and Chiricahua Apaches As part of a National Park Service program to introduce the metric system to Ameri cans, all measurements ia this book are expressed in metric units only. At the back of the book are explanations to help you convert metric figures to customary measurements. The camera wasn't fast enough or the boys weren't patient enough when the photographer captured these Chiricahuas playing an ancient Apache hoop and pole game. Apache Pass is a low, narrow saddle about kilometers long separating the Chiricahua from the Dos Cabezas Mountains. The Dos Cabezas - Two Heads - take their name from a pair of stone domes capping the summit. Siphon Canyon, a broad sandy wash, opens an easy entrance to Apache Pass on the east, but the way to the summit is steep, tortuous, and difficult. The face of Bowie Mountain walls the pass on the south. Helen's Dome, another curious rocky promontory, is a looming landmark to the southwest. The sheer walls of the mountains tower 600 to 700 meters above the pass, which is at an elevation of 1,560'meters.
