Nov 7, 1874 containing a prominent front page stacked headline, "The Death of Cochise/A Talk with the Apache Chief on his Deathbed/Report from the Superintendent of Indian Affairs. This contains a long and detailed 1/2 column news report of the death of the famous Apache Indian Chief Cochise. A great newspaper for displaying! "Chief Cochise was leader of the Chokonen band of the Chiricahua Apache, local to the Chiricahua Mountains, in the mid-1800s. He was a natural born leader. His father-in-law, Chief Mangas Coloradas, who was chief of the Mimbreno band, helped him foster these skills. Through this connection, Cochise would gain more influence over the Chiricahua Apache. Cochise began experiencing intense stomach pains and could not always eat. In 1874, he died of what was likely stomach cancer. The whereabouts of his grave are still unknown, though it is thought to be somewhere in his Stronghold. Cochise was one of the Chiricahua's most effective leaders during the time of the Apache Wars. He was the only one able to bring prolonged peace and freedom to his people, even if it did not last long after his death." from nps.gov
