Cochise Stronghold, Apache land For some 15 years during the mid-nineteenth century, this natural fortress was the home and hideout for the Chiricahua Apache War Chief, Cochise. Cochise, along with about 1,000 of his followers, 250 of whom were warriors, stayed within the natural safety of the stronghold formations. The natural geological design of the stronghold allowed sentinels stationed atop the towering rock formation to easily spot their enemies in the valley below long before they arrived at the stronghold. The warriors could swoop down from the stronghold and attack. These attacks were swift, had the element of surprise. Nobody within a hundred miles of the stronghold was safe from these attacks.
