Yes, you are right. It seems the remaining negatives are of very poor quality. The photographer, Constant Duehem, operated a photostudio in Colorado with his brother. The Duhems mostly took pictures in the area around their home. Ten Kate was collecting artefacts and data at San Carlos when the first Chiricahuas returned from Mexico. He had visited the Duhems before and then asked Constant Duhem to help him make photographs. He later paid for the expenses.

Yes, you are right, I missed that one... However, I did find another Duhem image, also taken in 1883 at San Carlos... the picture is not really clear, but the caption translates as 'Apache men surrounding chief Nana'... (second from right):

Also found this one, said to be Chiricahua, but I am not 100% sure...:

These are two more photographs credited to Durhem, although the name of the photographer is spelled Duhem this time, still no first name though... Both are said to be taken at San Carlos in the summer of 1883:

I finally received a copy of the book "The Lipan Apaches; people of wind and lightning" by Thomas Britten. Haven't started reading it yet, but it looks promising... Anybody read it already?

I was told the other day that Mr. Sweeney is currently working on yet another Apache book, which focuses on Cochise once more... don't know if this is true, but it is said it will be published again by the Univeristy of Oklahoma Press... Does anybody know more about this?

Hello Kayitah, I got the name Durhem from the ethnographic museum (here in Holland) that also has the negative of the Loco image. I have contacted them but, unfortunately, there is very little additional info, and no first name. Like you, I had never heard of him before either. But it seems quite certain there must be more photographs... Great image of the father and his girl by the way, never seen it before...

There were some 300 Chiricahua with Loco at that time, including the bands of Nana, Bonito, Mangas and Cathlay... it would be great to have additional images of these men! I also think the photo above more likely was taken at Fort Union than Fort Riley. If so, they may be members of Loco's family held there. Chiricahua people were also held at Fort Thomas at the time, perhaps the photograph was taken there?!?

I have found additional info on the Loco photograph posted above. It seems the image was taken in the summer of 1883, following the "return of the Apache hostiles from Old Mexico..." at San Carlos. The photographer is a certain Durhem and he took several pictures at the time. I have not found these yet, but there are probably some rare images still out there... perhaps from Nana who returned with Loco...

Thank you Dietmar! It was a pleasure finally meeting you, and Gregor! Unfortunately, we had not enough time to talk some more, but, like you said, we will make up for that some time soon... my best, Jeroen
p.s. we will continue to show our art at the Cactus Oase next year, I'll keep you posted on the data...

I think Nezulkide is a good guess... I agree with coeurrouge that none of the other men resembles the man with the cap... and he is the only one in the Fort Marion image wearing a cap... so it must have had special meaning for him... Also, he was a respected warrior which would explain his prominent position in several Fly images...

A friend sent me this one... To me it seems like a cropped image of a Fly photo at Embudos... I think the man standing at left is Cathlay...

Hey guys, I have been busy doing a lot of research lately for my new book, which will be about Chiricahua Apache history, but written in art, meaning paintings, studies, drawings etc... anyway, when browsing the collection of a Museum of Ethnography in Holland I came across a rare image of Loco... anybody knows when this portrait was taken?
