Fort Bowie, Arizona. The Apache Pass Stage Station was built of stone in July, 1858. Within its 6-8 foot-high walls were a kitchen-dining room, sleeping rooms, a storage room for feed and weapons, and mule corral with portholes in ever stall. The stage stopped here for a change of mules, a moment of rest, and what passed for a meal -- bread, coffee, meat, and beans -- for 50 cents. Photo by Kathy Weiser-Alexander.
