Chief of the Chiricahua Apache Tribe 1898 Naiche, Chief of the Chiricahua Apache 1898 This is a photograph of Naiche (ca 1856 – 1919), son of Chochise, in his U.S. Military uniform, wearing medals he was awarded. The crossed arrows with letters USS on his hat were part of the Indian Scout uniform from 1890 until 1907. This photo was taken in 1898 by Adolph F Muhr (ca 1858 – 1913) and published by F A Rinehart. Muhr took up photography in the late 1870s in Hoboken New Jersey, and moved to Denver in the early 1880s. He married Cora about 1885, and they moved to Omaha, perhaps about 1898, to work with Frank Rinehart (see below). Sometime between 1900 and 1910 Adolph and Cora moved to Seattle, Washington.
