Details the discovery of a hidden rock-lined defensive position overlooking Bear Creek near Silver City, likely built by Apaches or early settlers during the Apache wars. Covers the later conflict period 1861-1873 including the joining of forces of Chokonen and Chihene bands under Cochise and Mangas Coloradas; the murder of Mangas Coloradas; the treaty of Cochise with General Howard in 1872; the post-1874 period with decentralized Chiricahua leadership; the closure of the Tularosa Reservation and transfer to Ojo Caliente; the closure of the Chiricahua Reservation at Ft. Bowie in 1876; the removal of Chihene to San Carlos; and the final years leading to Geronimo's surrender in 1886. Provides a ground-level view of what Apacheria actually looks like today.
