Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fort Bowie National Historic Site and Chiricahua National Monument Visitor Survey This technical report covers studies of visitor perceptions, satisfactions with, and behaviors at Chiricahua National Monument and Fort Bowie National Historic Site. Data were collected for both sites during the 1986 calendar year. Chiricahua National Monument is located in the Chiricahua Mountains in southeastern Arizona, approximately 36 miles (58 kilometers) southeast of Willcox. To the west of the monument is Sulphur Springs Valley, an area of changing agricultural patterns. To the north, south, and west, the monument is bounded by the Coronado National Forest. The mountain range presents a forested island of green in the surrounding desert of browns, grays, and tans. The dominant features of the monument are the dramatic and striking rock formations shaped by volcanic eruptions, lifting and tilting of the earth's surface, and water and wind erosion. Fort Bowie is located 12 miles (19 kilometers) off the main highway north of the monument in Apache Pass. It is approximately 34 miles (57 kilometers) southeast of Willcox. The fort was established in 1862 to serve as the center for military campaigns against the Apache Indians. With the ending of the wars in 1886, the importance of the fort was sharply diminished. It was officially abandoned in 1894 and declared a national monument on August 30, 1964. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
