Apache Tears are associated with of Mexican Indians and the tears they have cried for their loved ones. According to legend, there is a reminder of the early presence of the battles fought between U. S. Cavalry troops and three recognized tribes: the Coyotes, Tontos and Pinals, all a part of the Apache tribe.  This story unfolds in the heart of the Superior region. History records indicated that in July 1870, General George Stoneman deemed it necessary to establish an outpost of the Arizona District at Picket Post, in an area just west of present day Superior. The three tribes held strongholds in the ains to the north and east and were known to have carried out extensive raids.  In the winter of 1870, a significant raid attracted Company B of the Arizona Volunteers, who soon ed the Indian lookouts. Though it was well known that a tribe of Apaches lived on top of Big Picacho, the trail to the top had never been located. The searches, trailing the cattle, discovered the secret trail, climbed atop the towering cliffs and waited to attack at daybreak. The Apaches, confident in the safety of their location, were caught off guard and completely outnumbered in the dawn attack. Nearly 75 Apaches were killed. Legend says those that escaped their attackers retreated to the cliffâ€s edge and chose death by leaping over the edge rather than being killed by the sition.  Those who ventured up the treacherous face of Big Picacho (now called Apache Leap) cled to have found skeletons. Relatives of
