The Dragoon Mountains, in Southern Arizona, is home to
Stronghold Cattle Company,
owned by Kevin Dumais. The Dragoon Mountain Ranch is at a 5000 foot
elevation, located on 57,000 acres of pristine pastures, knobby hills,
and rocky outcroppings. Cochise, the famed Chiricahua Apache Chief, and
approximately 1000 of his people lived for 15 years in the natural
fortress of the Dragoon Mountains, protected by 2 days of visibility.
Eventually Cochise and his people were starved out by the US Army, and
forced to sign a treaty for survival. As part of negotiations they were
told that they could keep the land surrounding the Dragoon Mountains,
but were instead shipped to Florida.[
