Haven't been to Ft. Bowie yet, but we've hiked to several "off the tourist map" ruins. My wife is a volunteer at the San Pedro House which is a BLM attraction and the local ranger has given her directions to several "unknown" sites. We have what looks like a grave a couple of hundred yards from our property. She asked the ranger what it was and he said that it probably was a grave. He told her that they are everywhere around here. It's different here.
ETA: Johnny Ringo died not far from Ft. Bowie. The Tombstone movie shootout with Doc Holiday never happened. Doc was on trial in Pueblo, CO, at the time. The death was ruled a suicide, but it could have been staged. The "shootout" families are still represented here and I'd not be surprised if another one happens.
