23Arizoniana, Vol. I, No. 3 (Fall, 1960), 24, reprinted from the Weekly Arizonian of September 17, 1870. 24 The son of Nachi, he succeeded that chief as leader of his people, as his son, Taza, was to succeed him. Cochise was well known to travelers across the Southwest even before the Civil War. He appears to have been generally regarded as an affable, intelligent Indian, in whom one could have confidence. In the winter of 186061 the chief had a contract to supply the Butterfield Stage Line with wood for its station at or near Puerto del Dado, the Apache Pass spring near which Fort Bowie would shortly be erected.

In a sense he inspired the spectacular careers both of Victorio and Geronimo, Mimbres like himself. Both were said to have been present at the Apache Pass fight. Neither was wounded there. But they took from it, no doubt, much that would have meaning in their own careers, not least being the dictum to avoid pitched battles with regular troops unless the soldiers were at a disadvantage, and then to make it short, sharp, and decisive. 38 McClintock, Arizona, I, 177. Page 24 III Civilians Take a Hand The Joe Walker Party journeyed at night through perilous Doubtful Canyon, where perhaps more skirmishes took place than at the more noted Apache Pass to the southwest, visited Tucson and the Pima-Maricopa villages briefly, and arrived in May, 1863, at what became known as Walker's Diggings, or Walker's Camp, in central Arizona.

The last man, heavily wounded and bleeding freely, dragged himself from one vantage point to another around the hill, to better fire at the enemy, according to signs found later by the Tucson men who buried the victims. Cochise expressed admiration for the Free Thompson group. 32 The story of the abortive Mangas- and Cochise-led ambush of General James H. Carleton's California Column in Apache Pass during the summer of 1862 has been told many times. The ambush was unsuccessful, but it did show the close alliance between the two great chieftains, as well as the greatest massing of Apache warriors for a fight in written history.
