Ed Sweeney's book on Cochise is excellent, although when conversing with him he misplaced the area of the Bascom Affair as to far to the northwest of its actual location. Nice images. The picture title "Apache Pass" is in error. What is shown is the trail leading from the Fort Bowie Visitor Center eastward to the employee housing area and maintenance sheds.

It is much narrower and a perfect ambush country. |
