The Geography of Resistance

The specific geography that Lozen and the Apache resistance fighters moved through is one of the most important and least appreciated elements of their story.

The mountains and deserts of the Apache homeland were not merely a setting.

They were a weapon, a resource, and a partner in the resistance.

The mountains of southern New Mexico and Arizona — the Mogollon Range, the Black Range, the Dragoon Mountains, the Chiricahua Mountains — are characterized by a specific geological character that made them ideal for the kind of guerrilla resistance the Apache conducted.
