Among the most historical spots in
the southwest recorded in the pages
of early history in the war against
the Apaches, is Cochise Stronghold,
about so miles northwest of Douglas
in the Coronado national forest.
Aside from the song and story OF
the romantic conquest of the south
west, Cocllise Stronghold presents a
medley of rugged mountains and
forest well worth the time and trouble
required to get there. A fine highway
leads to within short distance OF
the entrance of the Stronghold which
Immediately impresses the traveller
with the aptnesS Of its name.
From this beautiful canyon old
Chief CochiSe would lead his Apache
warriors out in his implacable war
fare on the whites, and when too
hard pressed would retreat.
The highway to Cochise Stronghold
leads north out Of Douglas, through
NcNeal, btstling little village .25
miles north Of Douglas; on through
Whitewater and over rolling hills to
Pearce an old mining town dating
back to pioneer days, then west to
the retreat that enabled Chief Co
chise to continue his war on the
whites for. 20 years.
AS the traveller rolls over this per-
feet highway through the Apaches'
old territory, he can almost visualize
the tufted heads of the Indian war
riors lurking in the o1royos and recall
that the Apaciles neither gave nor
asked quarter. =
In this connection it might be Of
interest to recall events leading UP
to the election of CocTise as chief,
and his implacable hatred against the
whites.
Thomas Edwin Parish, in his history
of Arizona, relates that Chief Mag
nus Colorado, the predecessor of CO.
chise, was captured by the whites
through trickery, and imprisoned at
Fort Huachuca, where he was de-
liberately enraged by the thrusting OF
a red hot iron bar through crack
in his adobe prison and burned,
whereupon he was shot. ees
Cochise tllereupon was elected chief.
and before accepting the mantle of
Ndagnus, it is asserted he took an
Indian oath that for every Apache
killed at Fort McLane a hundred
white men should die, an oath that
was religiously kept for two decades.
Following the death Of Magnus,
Cochise renewed his activities OF
raids and murders. This was back in.
1868, when the Civil war was raging
and few troops were available to pro-
tect the pioneers from the ravages- of
the Apaches- s.l,ls

muster sufficient strength to attempt
to rush Cochise Stronghold. The

marching entirely by night, which
rendered it difficult to follow the

came upon camp which appeared

not being able to see the trail. The
colonel galloped into a. canyon, while
the guide with five men climbed to-
ward a rocky mesa. The colonel,
looking back to see how the men were
getting up the hill, saw several IN
dams running from the crest. He
got back as quick as his horse would
carry him and ordered his men to
tie their horses to the trees and get
to the top of the hills as quickly as
possible, leaving six men with the
horses. Before the men had reached
half way up the hills, the Indians
had opened fire on the guide and the
five men with him, compelling them
to take shelter behind the rocks. AT
this firing commenced at all parts OF
the rocks above us. The troops were
placed about 80 yards from the ledge
occupied by the Indians, which en-
abled them to shoot arrows at any
person who might show himself. Here
two men were killed and one wound

place where he had left the horses
