- Lot Description
Cabinet card titled in the negative, "Al.che.say / Chief of the White Mt. Indians and His Counsel." With credit to Andrew Miller of Silver City, New Mexico. This is likely a group of General Crook’s Apache scouts, showing Alchesay near center, holding his rifle, surrounded by eight of his men and a young boy, also armed with long guns.
Alchesay (1853-1928) was a US Army Indian Scout under General Crook with rank of sergeant. He was awarded a Medal of Honor in 1875 by the US government for his gallant conduct during the winter of 1872-1873 when he acted as envoy from Crook to Geronimo to attempt a peaceful surrender. In 1883, Alchesay served with Crook against Geronimo again, and in 1885 pursued him into Mexico. Geronimo finally surrendered in 1886, but still remained friends with Alchesay for the rest of his life.
