8. Cochise Stronghold Located in the Dragoon Mountains about an hour southeast of Tucson, this rugged natural fortress was, for some 15 years, the home and base of operations for the famed Apache Chief, Cochise. Cochise and about 1,000 of his followers, of whom some 250 were fighting men, located here. Sentinels, constantly on watch from the towering pinnacles of rock, could spot their enemies in the valley below and sweep down without warning in destructive raids. No man, woman or child within a hundred miles was safe from these attacks. Cochise is reputed to have been a master strategist and leader who was never conquered in battle. In 1872 he came to terms with the white man and lived out the remaining two years of his life in peace. Upon his death, he was secretly buried somewhere in or near his impregnable fortress. The exact location has never been revealed nor determined.
