Hello, I'm a brand new member. This site is incredible, as I am very interested in Apache history and culture. I have a favor to ask..... I have an original Buehman stereo photo of Apache scouts in studio. On the far right of the photo is a man, supposedly Dandy Jim. This photo is numbered by Buehman as 104. Not too long ago, (2weeks),I visited here and someone had posted a photo taken individually by Buehman, of Dandy Jim, I believe it was numbered 79. Anyway, the photo posted on this site was a copy, and from what I remember it was from the Arizona Sate Historical Society? Circa 1879? If someone could re-post this photo? I look forward to learning a lot more from all of you. PS, if it helps Dandy Jim is in a feathered headress, bracelet on left arm, and apparently a breechclout

Welcome tiswin (nice nick!). We're glad that you joined us. Here you will find many interesting things for myself, I hope. Here a copy of photo of Hesh-pid-die, or Dandy Jim (or no?) No 78. Or look at Dandy Jim, Dead Shot, and Skippy's thread in "Western Apache". If you need, I can send a copy of better quality. PS. Look at Buehman's thread. I really like the photos taken Buehman, and I collect them. Attachments:

Naiches 2, thank you so much for that reply and photo. Exactly what I was looking for, and my stereo photo of the Apache scouts does include Dandy Jim. This site rocks, and I log on every day.

There also appears to have been a Chiricahua called Dandy Jim, he was killed during a raid in 1876...

Hello everyone, I just recvd an ISBN for my book and I have entered the last phase of publishing. My book is titled Second Jumper, searching for his bloodline. Written by Sigfried R. Second-Jumper. It has taken me 5 yrs to write it. It starts out with the surrendering of the Chiricahuas and their journey to Florida as prisoners of war. While in Florida, my great grandparents were separated from the bulk of the Tribe and shipped to Cuba. An event witnessed by other prisoners, and recorded in their oral history and songs. Also recorded and photographed by my family are my great grandparent’s arrival in Cuba, their struggles, sacrifices and accomplishments. Some of my great grandparent’s descendents began migrating to Florida, settling on the outskirts of the Florida Everglades. It was there that I discovered a Miccosukee Indian camp tucked deep in the swamps. Little did I know I was meeting the remnants of the only Unconquered Nation, The Florida Seminoles. In time I learned to master the art of breaking in horses, wrestling alligators, followed by 15 yrs of dancing and singing among them. These events were captured and will be shown with never before seen photographs. Through their encouragement, I along with my family set out on a trip across country, in search of our long lost Apache relatives. A long journey that started in St. Augustine, FL, Oklahoma, Arizona, ended at the Mescalero Apache Reservation in NM. Upon arrival at Mescalero, I was welcomed and accepted by ex-prisoners of war, the Chiricahuas and ultimately my long lost relatives. Unaware of my past tribal history, I was inaugurated into the medicine circle as a singer for the Chiricahua Crown Dancers. It was there, that I have and continue to learn the traditional ways of the Chiricahuas. After many years of loosing members and traditions, we all decided to record and preserve our ways along with our daily activities for future generations. For the first time ever, the reader will enter into the sacred tepee of the Crown dancers and learned what takes place prior to ceremonies. All of it has been done with the consent of all members. When the Seminoles learned that I was recording these stories, they asked me to include theirs as well. Some of these tales and photographs have been kept by members of both groups for decades as family treasures. I am honored to have been trusted to write them as they were told to me. All stories were reviewed by all participants prior to publishing to assure that they are told as they would want their great grandchildren to hear them. Unlike many or most books written about these two groups, this one is done from within. As a result, the participants felt comfortable revealing stories long suppress by fear and mistrust. There is only half a page of references and over 300 pages of the real stories of the Tigers of the Human race, the Chiricahua Apaches and the Only Unconquered Nation, the Florida Seminoles. I have dedicated my book to future Chiricahua and Seminole descendents but it really pertains to all humans as preserving their ancestral ways is just as important. I will keep you all posted as soon as my book is available.
Sincerely, Siggy Jumper
