The historic site was established also to commemorate the Butterfield Overland Trail and Stage Station, the fort's soldiers, and the Chiricahua Apache Indians. The Fort Bowie Master Plan (nps 1975) provides a brief summary of the development policy: Fort Bowie National Historic Site provides a matchless opportunity to interpret the genesis, growth and eventual decline of a southwestern frontier settlement during the last half of the 18005. A classic western military outpost situated in the heartland of the Chiricahua Apaches, Fort Bowie bore witness to the tragic clash of cultures that characterized America's western expansion.Much of the land surrounding the site of this early outpost remains as it appeared during the height of the fort's historic period a century ago.
