  • Overland Stagecoach Service Through Tucson” and “A Half Century of Tucson-Area Stagecoach Service.”
    The History of Stagecoaches in Tucson, Arizona Bob Ring August 2012 AUTHOR’S NOTES This article is based on a two-part newspaper series that ran in the Arizona Daily Star Regional Sections on June 28 and July 12, 2012. This story combines the newspaper columns: “Overland Stagecoach Service through Tucson” and “A Half Century of Tucson-Area Stagecoach Service.” In this integrated article, I took the opportunity to include significant new material not covered in the newspaper. For comments or questions, please contact me via e-mail at [email protected]. 2 Overland Stagecoach Service through Tucson 1857-1880 If it weren’t for stagecoaches, Tucson wouldn’t have developed to be the town we see today! Let’s set the stage (sorry). Stagecoaches are defined as public conveyances that carry mail, express, and/or passengers. The term “stage” originally referred to the distance between stages or stations on a route. Now, let’s get to the problem. In 1850, two years after its gold rush began in 1848, California became the 31st state of the Union, separated from the rest of the country by the vast expanse of the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains. Mail delivery to California from the East took at least a month and a half by steamship and pack animal across Panama. From the beginning, California pressured the U. S. Government to provide faster mail service. It took five more years for military expeditions and surveyors to establish a trail across the southwestern U.S. that stagecoaches could use year round for overland mail delivery.

  • 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.
