Historic Structure Report, Historical Data Section, Fort Bowie: Its Physical Evolution, 1862-1894, Fort Bowie National Historic Site, Arizona

摘要

The Historical Data section of this Historic Structure Report recounts the physical history of Fort Bowie and its structures. The original Fort Bowie was constructed on a hillside to protect a pass from the Apache Indians. This site was abandoned when the present Fort Bowie was constructed further down the slope in 1869. The second Fort Bowie was an active post until 1894, when it was abandoned for lack of necessity. Today, there is little left of the military post which consisted of 49 structures. The second section of the report identifies the structures and provides a brief construction history on each. Other facilities are identified, and the abandonment of the fort is discussed. The report contains photographs, illustrations, drawings, and maps.
