We camped at a location that was as far up into the Canyon as we could take our truck and cab-over truck camper. We walked the rest of the way to our hunting spot. <br /><br />We did not know what we were seeing at the time, but later discovered that we had located an Army troop's graves that had been caught in the Canyon and killed by the Apache (we discovered what they were when someone who knew what they were looking at did some research to verify that they were in fact graves and who's graves they were). There were several rows of graves, rocks stacked on top of them about waist high (I was 14/15 when we located them). The guy that figured out what they were, wrote an article about them, and published it in a mag or newspaper. He figured that the rows, spaced several yards apart, were whites, then blacks, then Native Americans....whites in one row, blacks in another, then Native Americans. <br /><br />That does not make sense to me because Blacks did not serve with whites in the Army. There may have been some Indian Scouts with them, however. I suspect the rows were Officer, Non commissioned Officer, then enlisted soldiers, then Indian Scouts. <br /><br />At any rate, I have been dreaming about a trip back there with my wife just to camp and see the area again. At the time the article was written, there was talk about making the area a historical marker. I don't know if that ever happened. I live in Oklahoma now and I sure do miss New Mexico.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257536628539727104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378593047440849657.post-46305361686533609542016-06-01T03:03:58.679-04:002016-06-01T03:03:58.679-04:00Thank you for this post and all the wonderful pict...Thank you for this post and all the wonderful pictures!!
