Cochise Stronghold was the winter home of Chief Cochise and the Chiricahua Apache. The area was termed a âstrongholdâ as Cochise led his people to the safety of this beautiful mountain fortress during the defense of their homeland from 1852 â 1872. This is the place Cochise loved as his home, where he sought refuge and where he finally made his peace with the white man. He is buried somewhere in the Stronghold.
Great capture

That is one great photo, certainly should be ranked as one of the best ever shown on this site....in one's minds eye, in the sky just above the highest rock spiral, one can see the image of, perhaps, an Apache face with chin lifted slightly looking left upwards....that said, this photo tis be a sad reminder that this land with all its equal beauty was stolen from the original habitants at holocaust expense with not one thief ever held accountable....lest it be forgotten, in 1500, it has been accturately estimated, the native population of the area now called USA was 12 million....at the turn of the 20th century, only 237,000 remained....
