Wonderful photograph Mithlo, thanks! I agree with Kayitah the man with the hair ornament is indeed Len see. The man on the far left in the back looks familiar too, Ulzana maybe?

This is the earliest portrait painting of Geronimo I have seen so far... it is a watercolor by Farney and it is dated Fort Sill 1894:

This is great news indeed! I visited the area between Lordsburg and Deming recently, it is very poor and the local economy could really use a boost, so the casino plan will get sufficient support here...hope there are plans for a cultural center/museum as well...

I visited Apacheria again a few weeks ago as part of my research for my new book... went to both San Carlos and White Mountain, but also some of the significant historical sites, including Chiricahua N.M., Cochise Stronghold, Fort Bowie, Geronimo surrender site etc... There is also a wonderful exhibition at the Heard museum in Phoenix called "Beyond Geronimo..." For more info: www.heard.org/currentexhibits/geronimo.html

I wondered why we did not think of a thread on Cochise yet... so here it is! I start with this familiar portrait long thought to be Cochise: While doing research for my book on the Chiricahua I have found this is actually a portrait of Juan Rey, a Pueblo leader... Other images and info is welcome... Btw, I heard Edwin Sweeney is working on yet another book with more additional info on Cochise... does anybody know anything about this?

Great job Naiches! Your estimate of Chihuahua being in his early 40s in 1886 fits well with Daklugie's statement that Chihuahua was a very young chief when Cochise was old (early 1870's)... certainly not the usual given year of birth being 1822. According to Sweeney Cathla was one of Cochise's 'captains' so I guess he would at least be about the same age as Chihuahua and Taza at that time... Again, well done... it would be great to find as much matching images with the names as possible...

I think you could be right... perhaps he even married Tah Dash Te following the capture of his first wife and child... In my opinion it is a good guess...

Finally I got around reading the Thomas Britten book on the Lipan Apaches... as far as I can judge it, it is well written and well researched... the best I have read about the Lipan so far... It is mostly history, much of it on the interaction with the Spanish and other Indian nations, particularly the Comanche and Wichita and how and why the Lipan turned from a dominant power on the southern Plains to a few small, scattered groups of hunted people both in Texas and in Mexico. Britten also shows the Lipans did not disappear and descendants can be found in different locations today. He ends with attempts by several individuals to gain federeal recognition in the last ten years or so... All in all, a book well worth reading...

Sorry, just that the photo was taken "probably early 1930's..." for what it is worth...

I have the booklet and it contains only photographs by Randall/Wittick. I knew the author personally and he was very knowledgable, but it the text is for a very general public and contains nothing new.In fact, Duhem is mentioned only once in pasing. So, sorry my friend, but that is a dead end...
