"Watchtower" at Two Guns Arizona
The "Indian Watchtower" at the ghost town ruins of Two Guns, Arizona. Nearby the legendary community of Canyon Diablo, about halfway between Winslow and Flagstaff.
Just below and to the left off this is the famous Apache Death Cave, where dozens of Apache Indians were boxed into a cavern by their Navajo enemies. The Navajo piled up dry brush and branches at the mouth of the cave and proceeded to set it alight, smothering and killing all inside from the smoke and fire.
It's said the trapped Apaches slit the necks of their horses in order to drain and use the blood in an attempt to extinguish the flames, but it was unsuccessful. Any who tried escaping the cave were shot but the Navajo, all who remained within perished.
