The history of Faraway Ranch and the Erickson-Riggs family is a rich and complex story. However, if viewed simplistically as we often have, the Faraway Ranch story is one more tale of Western settlement. Two Swedidh immigrants, one a soldier and the other an officer's family servant, meet at a frontier military post, fall in love and decide to homestead along the banks of Bonita Creek in the Chiricahua Mountains.... (from the introduction).

The couple acquired their Bonito Canyon homestead in southeastern Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains in 1886 and were instrumental in the establishment of Chiricahua National Monument in 1924.

Chiricahua's delicate spires, massive columns, and huge balanced rocks are eroded remnants of volcanic rhyolite. These rugged mountains in southeastern Arizona, once home to Apaches led by Cochise and Geronimo, shelter a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna from four intersecting biomes. Photos by George H. H. Huey.
