While checking about 4,500 military records from the Indian Wars, David C’de Baca came across the names of two Navajo women – Mexicana Chiquito (whose given name was Nal-Kai) and Muchacha – who were enlisted as Army Scouts by the 20th Regiment, U.S. Infantry, at Fort Wingate. The records indicated that Mexicana Chiquito, 24, served from May 24, 1886, to Oct. 11, 1886. Muchacha, 21, served from May 26, 1886, to Oct. 11, 1886.

Before 1840, there was another chief Buffalo Hump. That chief was killed in a fight with Texas Rangers in 1839. The „Bird's Creek Battle“, also known as „Bird's Victory“, took place on May 26, in 1839. A few sources are writing, the battle took place in late June of the same year. The battle is also known for the long range shot with bow and arrow, that killed Captain John Bird Here you can read a report of that incident : books.google.de/books?redir_esc=y&hl=de&id=xdoB0x1igX8C&q=Buffalo+Hump#v=snippet&q=Buffalo%20Hump&f=false

I agree, „esimotso“. I know, statements, even by tribal members ( all nations ) are not always historically accurate.
In 1846, the german Geologist Dr. Ferdinand von Roemer was present at some treaty talks, which resulted in the Meusebach-Comanche Treaty, and left an enduring and vivid portrait of Buffalo Hump :
….“ The third, Buffalo Hump, was the genuine, unadulterated picture of a North American Indian. Unlike the majority of his tribe, he scorned all European dress. The upper part of his body was naked. A buffalo hide was wound around his hips. Yellow copper rings decorated his arms and a string of beads hung from his neck. With his long, straight black hair hanging down, he sat there with the earnest (to the European almost apathetic) expression of countenance of the North American savage. He drew special attention to himself because in previous years he had distinguished himself for daring and bravery in many engagements with the Texans."

The Bascom Affair marked the beginning of open warfare between Cochise and the Americans, although not the beginning of hostilities. Relations between the two races had been strained for well over a year before the fateful incident. To blame this Bascom incident for the following decade of war, as Cochise and others have maintained, is a gross oversimplification. There were other important factors that contributed to the longevity of the so-called Cochise War of 1861-1872, not the least of which was the military's inability to subdue the Chiricahua leader. But as one prominent historian wrote, even if the Bascom incident had not occurred, "there doubtless would still have been an Apache war." ( Excerpt from the article below) In 1989, Edwin R. Sweeney wrote an article about that theme Citation : Sweeney, Edwin R.. "Cochise and the Prelude to the Bascom Affair."

In general, the date for the raid on John Ward`s ranch is given as Januar 27th, 1861. For years I have doubted this date because various books and articles point to an earlier date, but I never found any real proof for an earlier date. Just recently, I found an interesting article that finally clarifies this question. That article, >THE BASCOM AFFAIR< was written by Charles K. Mills and published in „ The Cochise Quarterly “ Vol. 22, No. 2 , Summer 1993 www.cochisecountyhistoricalsociety.org/journals/cchs-vol-22-no-02-summer-1993.pdf
