At the northern end of the Chiricahuas
sits the gold-rich range known as Dos Cabezas (in Spanish, two heads).
These photos clearly show the double peak that gives this range its name.
At the south end of the Dos Cabezas range
lies notorious Apache Pass, where Fort Bowie was built in 1862 after Cochise
and his father-in-law, the great Mangas Coloradas, ambushed the California
Volunteers, a column of U.S. troops who were on their way to head off advancing
Confederate soldiers (see BROKEN ARROW). |
