The Bones of Cochise
Somewhere in the Dragoons, in a secret place, lie the bones of Cochise, left without a trace. Beneath a rocky temple, a sepulcher so grand, rests a mighty warrior, his spirit guards the land. A stronghold in the mountains, ramparts made of stone, where the canyon deepens, his resting place unknown. His wikiup was burned,Continue reading “The Bones of Cochise”
