- Join me as I explore old Fort Bowie that sat astride the Butterfield Overland Mail and Stage Line. This is the famous site of Apache Springs and many massacres of both Indians, soldiers and civilians. This was also the site of the Battle of Apache Pass.

Being that my mother is crippled, I think a lot about how your videos must be such a wonderful thing to people who can't walk or can't get out and experience nature and history like this. I'm sure you make their day. I could only imagine if I couldn't bring myself out places like this. That's why your videos are some of the best I've ever seen on the internet. They're not over-produced, they're not fake or forced, they're just genuine, and at this day and age that's really special.
Jack Diller what a nice comment. he makes my day. I'm not crippled but I work a lot. I live vicariously through him.
Being a history buff, it is great to see some of the places I've only read about. Being Canadian, I don't really get to travel as I would like due to health. What got you huffing and puffing would probably kill me, so your filming and posting this stuff is giving me a view into the past that I will never get to see personally. I Subscribed for your metal detecting videos at first. But these videos of the last week, have made me VERY glad I did press the subscribe button. I have been taking notes, on the places you have gone sso I can do more research later on. Some of it may appear in a book. Or just a big file on my computer that I can go over once in a while to see what I have learned and forgotten!
I'm so scared this is going to be me someday, just the declining health before i get to see all i want to see...that's why i keep moving, i don't use age as an excuse, i also have a neighbor that is 102 and still mows his own yard so i'm inspired quite often.
Uh oh
This is a great video. I walked that trail back in 1988. There have made a few improvements. The graveyard is now fenced in with new grave signs. I see there are other new signs. The spring water is running faster. When I was there in August it was just a trickle. I drank about one half ounce, just so I could say I drank water from Apache Springs. I stood in different places trying to imagine what took place and all the hardships. It brings back a lot of memories. Everyone should be thankful the federal gov. has made these places protected national parks so that future generations can visit and stand in wonderment at the historic events that took place.
Excellent guided tour, and I never broke a sweat.
I remember seeing the uniforms the soldiers wore when I visited the museum at Gettysburg. They looked like they were hot. And I thought those soldiers from both sides were really tough to be wearing such heavy uniforms fighting down south in the heat. Then you see the old Fort Bowie site and it really makes you realize how tough the conditions and the people were back then. These videos that your doing from Arizona are really great and very informative . Thanks for doing them!!
@Anthony L that's awesome. Have you done any paranormal things on the field after yall were finished?
Thank you so much for taking us with you on this hike. Apache Spring is beautiful. I am always amazed at how much knowledge and information you have about things. That is why I asked in the comments on another video if you were a teacher. Also, we must be from the same generation because when you quote part of a song I start singing it and it gets stuck in my head. Your theme song is really stuck in my head. Thanks for all you do and go through to give us insight into the world around us.
Thanks for taking us along ! I learned a little history, which I will be doing a little more research on. Again, Thanks !!!
Aquachigger, I cannot express my gratitude for giving us this little bit of history. I was raised in California and never got to come out to see this kind of thing. It has been so great watching your video and having you explain everything to us. You are very well versed in your knowledge of everything. Thanks so much Aquachigger. God bless.
I am 70 years old and I've been in Arizona most of my life. But I only know about half of what you have informed us of in your Arizona videos. Thank you for the history lessons about my home state.
this has been the best series of videos. I love everything about your channel, videos, knowledge, and you as a person. Mr. beau you sir are a true outdoorsman, adventurer, historian, and an all around great human being. keep up the good work, always a pleasure to see a new video from you.
Another great informative and educational video I love the scenery and I never left my recliner ;)
Ha ha, nice "I'll be quiet now". Gotta love the wit.
Hello Aquachigger! New fan here from Delta Junction Alaska. Myself and my three sons 9,13,15, love each and everyone of your videos! You are an inspiration to us four, and we have started a channel now to show our family's adventures, detecting around Alaska. THANK YOU AQUACHIGGER!
Lentz Family in Alaska.
The Apache were brutal, tough, skilled warriors I guess that's why our most powerful attack helicopter is named in there honor. Great educational video Chig keep them coming. Thanks
I've lived in AZ my whole life (21 years) and haven't realized just how amazing and interesting it is until I watched this. Living here, it's just a desert to me but from your point of view, it showed me how much history took place here. I've read my fair share on AZ history and been to historical sites, but thank you for sharing this! It made me excited to live here :)
Again, thanks for the tour of Fort Bowie area. Very interesting history and it would be so much fun to swing a coil in those hills, barring a felony for doing so, because you could find some historic things lost over a century ago. You are filming some places none of us can ever see if it wasn't for your diligence and hard work!!
Great video. The history and exploration was enjoyed and appreciated! Thanks for bringing us along.
There is always something you share with us in these adventures that triggers more research on my part. So much to learn but I always enjoy.
You called them horse apples, I've always known them to be called "road apples" and am quick to offer the grandkids one. They say, "No Grandpa,...that's horse poop!"
yet again another fantastic informative and interesting video. fantastic vid Chigg
Awesome video Beau, thanks for taking the time to show us around. I hope to visit some of those places sometime in my life.
First and foremost I would like to express my appreciation for your sharing so much historical knowledge and your respect for nature, laws and the land owners. This is what sets you apart from the other diggers on CZcams. I live in the middle of a national forest surrounded by public land rich in history that is constantly littered and pilfered by visitors ...really pisses me off. My neighbor on 3 sides of my land is the Chattahoochee National Forest in the N GA Mtns.
Anyway, there was a point to me starting this post..Oh yeah, the broken glass around the forts. It could be trash piles OR ...If I were stationed out there for 2 years with nothing to do but guard a bubbling little spring, I'd pass my time target practicing or teaching women and children to shoot. There has not been a more popular target for practice since the invention of firearms, than glass bottles.
Again, appreciate the videos. I used to do a little detecting/digging and I REALLY want to get out and do some, but surgery malpractice has left me with a paralyzed foot and some damaged leg nerves making it near impossible. So I'm retired now at 53 and would love to dust off my detectors and get out there. Your videos are a strange mix of frustration and inspiration to me. Thanks for sharing them either way.
GREAT VIDEO. I love your informational pieces. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.
Beau !, You are Amazing. So much knowledge. I'm in Australia and you have me hooked.
Just wicked. You have a way with words, have a great accent and are;t to bad to look at.
Cheers and keep up the fantastic Beau Adventures & Expeditions.
Fantastic Video! Looking forward to you next one!
Awesome! Aquachigger Archaeology, I luv it!
Although short, compared to European, I love early American history. Just watching your films Chiggs I can almost connect to the past, mentally not physically. I mean, seeing relics you pick up that have not been looked at, or touched, for hundreds/thousands of years gives me a sense of connection to those past lives, if you know what I mean. Truly thought provoking films.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing.
Love this video. thanks for sharing, Chig!
I'm loving this trip your on. Thanks!
Thanks for another informative hike through the desert. You are so much more than a metal detectorist. Thanks, Professor Chigg.
I love your videos. It has insired me to look and dig around when im on places i know that r old. Last week i found a old wagon that was buried it was in bad shape but it was still an awesome feeling finding a piece of history. I also found some hand forged chains and a butterchurn thing.
Interesting. More than likely I will never get here, so this is a nice share for me. Thanks for sharing.
Very fun and interesting video. Thank you!
Well I did it. A wonderful hike. I recognized everything your video was so helpful. I admit I stopped often looking a cool rocks. Thanks Chigg.
These exploration videos are great beau. I'm learning lots of history watching them.
great historical video !very educational . keep up the great work Beau
Thank you for the tours. Places I may never get to see. You being able to travel to these places is such a luxury. Never take it for granted because some of us may never have the opportunity to visit American historical sites that you are taking us along on.
I have only heard of Horse Apples in reference to the fruit Bodark Trees make, was quite confused for a moment. Interesting history though.
Very interesting geology indeed, thanks for taking us with you.
Thanks Bo love the history lesson, keep the video's coming!!!
You made me a little second Home Sick. :) I lived on 40 acres just outside of Willcox AZ., few miles from Bowie. I hiked there often. Love that area. From my House I could see Mt. Graham, Dos Cabezas, Chiricahua's, and was at the bottom of the Winchester,s. Believe it or not, even though the soil is not really dirt but ground up rock with clay and organic materials mixed within it, If you give it water , it will grow. LOL. Had a full garden plot, with Melons and Pumpkins as a main crop. Grew Bamboo shade walls for more protection for leafy veggies. The animal life around this area is amazing, I built a pond and waterfall just off my back Veranda to bring all kinds of creatures to it. I could go on forever,LOL. Thanks for the memories. :) There is a lot of History within just short drives in any direction from there.
Love your videos, they are very interesting and informative and not once after all the walking and distance you have covered ,over hard and hot terrain, have you moaned. well done buddy and stay safe. Dave
Thanks for another good video on local Arizona History, Beau. You almost tell it better than a Louis L' Amour novel, but yours has so much more poignancy, because it is actually real. History properly told doesn't waste its time on pointing fingers, or finding fault, but just tells the tale as truthfully as the records make possible. I have never understood why people of today spend so much time arguing one side or the other?! They weren't there and they didn't have to make the decisions. Of course hindsight is always 20/20 and judgements made by armchair historians always correct, (said with heavy sarcasm, so don't pay any attention to the naysayers!
I think you are doing a splendid job. Keep up the good work. You are really making some good memories in your travels. Thanks again for sharing.
Really loved this video Chigg. Will probably never get there myself so I'm very grateful to you for sharing this with us. Will be showing my uncle this as he loves apache history. Safe travels!
Really interesting video Beau - you did well in an unforgiving place. Looking for to your next instalment.
This, and the recent cliff dwellers vids are great ones. That spring must have been extremely important to all, and well worth fighting over.
The knowledge and the way you explain thinks are formidable virtues that you possess.I enjoyed your video very much ......thank you.
So great history Beau thanks
Very interesting! Thanks again.
Thank you for the video, very interesting to watch. You have a way with history !!
Wasn't expecting those beautiful purple flowers out there in such a desert climate...Great video!!! 👍🏻
Another great video. I thank you for the history lesson.
What an amazing video. So much history and such a beautiful place. Love to go there one day.
Great little history lesson!
Thanks for video. I live near Ft. Bowie and have visited there many times, on foot and on muleback. A lot of history took place in Apache Pass and Ft. Bowie.
Great video, very interesting. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you Beau.
Love the information, great video, they just keep getting better!
you are very knowledgeable and I love listening to you and learn so much am so glad I found your channel and Its with everything you do and every video I learn so much ty and please don't stop making them
Cochise! ✊🏻Much respect!
Interesting video Chig. Thank you.
Thanks for another historical walk!
Thanks for the videos very educational and amazing.
such an informative video thank you so much for creating it I've learnt loads, the difference in vegetation on that fault line was fascinating. good stuff ! amazing!
Thank you for the awesome tour. YOU are very informative and the PERFECT tour guru! We really enjoyed the personal touch!
one of your best vids. i lived in the area for 22 years and decided to move back home to michigan, one of the worst bad mistakes i have ever made. southern arizona has tons and tons of history. anywhere you look theirs history galore. that ammo brass you picked up was a 44-40. it was chambered for rifle and revolver so you would not have to carry two types or kinds of calibers of ammo. the ammo is still made today along with the revolvers and rifles. good job . when you do these types of vids, we will have to start calling you " the sandchigger ". :-)
interesting video thanks for sharing aqua
Awesome. thanks for sharing
Loving these hikes full of interesting history!
Wow, thankyou for the vedio! I never remember all of what you've told us, very interesting...again, thanku!!
We were just there 2 days ago and as I was uploading the vlog- your video came up. Love how you have all that information and shared! You gained a fan here! Great job sir!

I enjoy all your videos especially these that tell the history of places
Awesome video, buddy!
Greets from Belgium
My wife and I visited Ft Bowie in March 2018. It was an amazing hike and very surreal walking the ground that Cochise and Geronimo had lived on. It was also neat to see where the stage station had been. I would love to go back one day and visit again. Lot of history!
wow what a adventure thank you for taking us a long
okay, that was the best video by far in this series. more please!!!
Awesome video as usual Beau

Fascinating history. Horrible for both sides Indians and the military/civilians. Little did they know that one or a series of action from one man would effect the lives of hundreds! Thanks Chigger great video!
