Utley RM. 1977. A Clash of Cultures: Fort Bowie and the Chiricahua Apaches. History Series (unnumbered). Historical Handbook Series. NPS 175. US Government Printing Office. Washington, DC
History Series (unnumbered). In this publication Robert M. Utley, former Chief Historian of the National Park Service, relates the history of the Chiricahua Apache as well as their conflicts with the U.S. military in the mid and later 19th century (the Apache Wars). Utley begins towards the end of the Apache migration into the southwestern United States in the 1500s and continues through the abandonment of Fort Bowie by the US military in the 1894. Utley also discusses the geographic setting of Arizona and New Mexico, the Apache conflicts with Spanish explorers and Mexican settlers, the Butterfield Overland Mail, the Bascom Affair, the Cochise Wars, and the later Geronimo Campaign. The History Series was created in the early 1970s to explore specific topics within the history of several historical parks.
