Battle of Apache Pass

The Battle of Apache Pass, fought in 1862 in present-day Arizona, was a conflict between the United States Army and the Apache tribes. The U.S. aimed to control the region and secure transportation routes, while the Apache resisted encroachment on their lands. The battle took place near Apache Pass, a vital mountain pass and transportation corridor. U.S. forces, including soldiers and volunteers, successfully defended their position against Apache attacks, marking a significant moment in the ongoing struggle between Native American tribes and U.S. expansion efforts during that period.
