Cochise



Cochise (c. 1812June 9, 1874) was a chief of one of the bands of the Chiricahua and the leader of an uprising that began in 1861. Cochise was a chief of central Chiricahua in the southwestern United States. Cochise was the most famous Apache leader to resist intrusions by whites during the 19th century. Cochise was born in the area that now contains the border between Mexico, New Mexico and Arizona. That area had experienced significant tension between the Apache and European settlers from about 1831 until the greater part of the area was annexed by the United States in 1850, which ushered in a time of relative peace. Cochise worked as a woodcutter at the stagecoach station in Apache Pass for the Butterfield Overland line. The peace was shattered in 1861 when an Apache raiding party drove away a local rancher's cattle and kidnapped his 12-year-old son. Cochise and five others of his band were falsely accused of the incident (which had actually been done by the Coyotero band of Apaches), and were ordered by an inexperienced Army officer (Lt. George Bascom) to report to the fort for questioning. When they went there and maintained their innocence the group was arrested and imprisoned. The five soon mounted an escape attempt; one was killed and Cochise was shot three times but managed to slip away. He quickly took hostages to use in negotiations to free the other four Chiricahua. However, the plan backfired and both sides killed all their hostages in what was later known as "The Bascom Affair." Cochise then joined with his father-in-law Mangas Coloradas (Colorado), a Mimbreño Apache chief, in a long series of retaliatory skirmishes and raids among the settlements. Many were killed on both sides, but the Apaches began to achieve the upper hand, which prompted the United States Army to send an expedition (led by General James Carleton). At Apache Pass in 1862, Cochise and Colorado, with 500 fighters, held their ground against a force of 3000 California volunteers under Carleton until artillery fire was brought to bear on their position. Colorado was later captured and subsequently killed while imprisoned leaving Cochise in sole command of the insurrection. He and his men were gradually driven into the Dragoon Mountains but were nevertheless able to use the mountains as cover and as a base to continue significant skirmishes against white settlements from. This was the situation until 1871 when General George Crook assumed command and used other Apaches as scouts and informants and was thereby able to force Cochise's men to surrender. Cochise was taken into custody in September of that year. The next year the Chiricahua were ordered to Tularosa Reservation in New Mexico but refused to leave their ancestral lands, which were guaranteed to them under treaty. Cochise managed to escape again and renewed raids and skirmishes against settlements through most of 1872. A new treaty was later negotiated by General Oliver O. Howard and Cochise retired to an Arizona reservation where he died of natural causes. ---- There was also a United Kingdom rock and roll band Cochise (band) of the early 1970s. ---- "Cochise" is also the name of an Audioslave song, on their 2002 self-titled album (see Audioslave (album)). 1812 births 1874 deaths Chiricahua Native American leaders Native Americans People from Arizona People from New Mexico

Cochise



Where did that eerie photo of Cochise come from?! The last time I checked there was NO PROVEN IDENTIFIED picture of the chief to be FOUND, and the only one I ever saw regularly used to represent him was a painting of a much thinner looking man, with a more distressed expression on his face. What exactly is this new photo, anyone know?? == That is not a photo of Cochise but of Chatto == That is not a photo of Cochise but of Chatto http://impurplehawk.com/apgallery5.html This link gives this same photo and the details below: Chatto, Chiricahua Apache. Chatto headed a delegation to Washington for a conference on July 26th, to appeal to the Secretary of War regarding the removal of the Apache from Fort Apache to the panhandle of Oklahoma. The only 2 representations that I can find that give an idea of Cochise's looks are a photo of a bust and a rather poorly done painting of what he "might have looked like". http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Cochise&action=edit§ion=new (the painting) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Cochise&action=edit§ion=new (the bust - which is on the first page of the gallery and looks nothing like this photo of Chatto) Melohawk ------------------------------------------------ So why does it present it as Cochise? That's a bit confusing... The photo here of Crazy Horse still says it may be Crazy Horse, it doesn't just label it as him. :I've removed the image until it's verified - maybe we can get more info from somewhere? -- User:Sannse User talk:Sannse 08:42, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
