1861 — the United States was preparing for Civil War. As the Army was pulled back from the southwestern frontier, the Apache under the feared and respected Cochise took to the warpath ...
Seven men left the village of Mesilla as guards for the Overland mail coach to Yuma. They got as far as Cook's Canyon, when they met the main Apache raiding party, under the leadership of Cochise and Mangus Colorado. Four days later, the seven were dead ... but they had taken 185 killed and wounded Indian braves with them!
SEVEN BRAVE MEN is based on a true incident from the bloody history of the southwest.
