Join us to listen to the story told by Richard Bourke who wants to remember his great-great Uncle of Captain John Gregory Bourke by naming the low butte north of Browns Mountain as Bourke Mountain.

Captain John Gregory Bourke was a highly respected military and Native American historian. Aide-de-camp to General George Crook during his time in the southwest and northern Rocky Mountains, he was author of the acclaimed “On the Border with Crook”, which chronicled General Crook’s Apache campaigns of the early 1870s.

John G. Bourke was the first person to map (in March 1873) the old Stoneman Road which runs northeast from old Fort McDowell through the Preserve on to Prescott.
