A Bloody Puzzle...
On a chilly morning in early November 1871, a Concord stagecoach left
the little town of Wickenburg, Arizona, traveling west through a quiet
desert. The morning was split by a horrified yell—Apache!—and
then the roar of gunfire. As the bodies slumped under a rising sun and
the blood seeped into the sand, the stage became set for one of the
West’s most enigmatic and echoing tragedies.
Were the culprits truly Indians, or had they been Mexican bandits in
disguise? Were the only two survivors somehow involved? When the U.S.
Army finally laid the blame on a band of local Yavapai Indians, it
became clear that the real ramifications of this horrific crime were
only just beginning to present themselves.
