  • San Juan Basin Archaeological Society Field Trip Report
    San Juan Basin Archaeological Society Field Trip Report Destination: Exploring Cochise County Date: January 16 – 18, 2019 Leader(s): Gail Schulz Number of Participants: 10 Wednesday January 16 through Friday January 18, 2019 ten SJBAS members enjoyed warm Arizona temperatures and sunshine while exploring and learning about Cochise County history and archaeology. We spent our first day in the Dragoon Mountains just north of Tombstone, AZ. The Dragoon Mountains were the ancestral homeland of the Apaches and were invaluable to them for the springs, grasses, wood and items they harvested that were crucial to their survival. The Dragoons were also an impregnable fortress to which they retreated when an enemy threatened. The position of the Dragoons between the Sulphur Springs Valley and the San Pedro Valley made them a perfect lookout to see any group approaching from all directions. The excellent cover and vantage points in the rocks of the Dragoons stopped any enemies from following them there. We entered along the south end of the Dragoons via Middlemarch Road and visited the West Cochise Stronghold area including pictographs estimated at around 1,000 years old, plus perhaps some Apache 4 additions. These are located on large boulders that provided shelter and overlook what is said to be the Council Rocks area where Cochise met with his trusted friend Thomas J. Jeffords, Brig. General O. O. Howard and Howard’s aide-de-camp, Joseph A. Sladen on October 1, 1872, to discuss making peace with the Chiricahua Apache bands. A good faith pledge of agreement was made between Howard and Cochise that created a 55-mile-wide reservation which included the Dragoon and Chiricahua Mountains and the Sulphur Springs and San Simon Valleys.

  • Values and Challenges of “Historic Abandonment” Design and Management at Fort Bowie National Historic Site
    19 Letting the Landscape Speak: Values and Challenges of “Historic Abandonment” Design and Management at Fort Bowie National Historic Site Robin L. Pinto, Cultural Landscape Historian, 6335 East Paseo Otono, Tucson, AZ 85750; rpin- [email protected] This Ill-fated Pass, the name of which has long been a terror to the hapless white man who must make his way through. It was no less an object of dread and bloody memory to the Apaches themselves, for in its treacherous windings, many a brave has met his death.1 Introduction Set in the exposed heartland of Chiricahua Apache territory, Fort Bowie played a major role in the Indian Wars (Figure 1). Abandoned in 1894, Fort structures were dismantled by scavenging neighbors and the remaining adobe walls began to crumble, returning slowly to the soil. Congress authorized acquisition of 1,000 acres in 1964 to preserve the fort’s ruins and the landscape of Apache Pass. Mission 66 plans for a road, picnic area, parking lot, visitor center—and even an aerial tramway—came and went. Because of landscape challenges and politics, development funds did not materialize until decades later. Without funding, planners instead proposed what was, at that time, an original development philosophy called “historic abandonment.” They would leave the landscape untouched and unobstructed by the usual park facilities. This philosophical deci- sion still protects one of the most unusual historic parks. Today, visitors discover the landscape’s ongoing influence and the ruined fort on their own as they hike the dreaded Apache Pass. Yet that decision has in the past and still presents significant ecological and management challenges to park managers who strive to preserve viewsheds and ruins and provide minimal facilities for visitors and staff.
