Not likely. If so, no photograph exists today of the Apache Chief. There was a small painting from 1872, his first year under the white man and only eighteen months before his death, that is possibly a portrait of Cochise.

He and Crazy Horse, the legendary Oglala

Lakota

Sioux War Chief, are the only two Indian leaders with no agreed upon photograph taken or in existence. There is a photograph of Crazy Horse that no one, white nor

Sioux, could confirm it was the great War Chief.

It is even less likely that Cochise allowed a photograph taken due to the very short amount of time in which it would have been possible and the lack of any types of remains. The portrait has been given much more validity as being an accurate portrayal of the great Apache Chief. Cochise would live less than eighteen more months after the possible painting was done, the only remains from a possible first hand viewing of the man.
