I'd like to learn about Geronimo's interaction with the Yaquis in the Sonaran region where my ancestors on dad's side ranched and farmed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdown Report post Posted September 4, 2021 I actually just finished that book. Got an itch after I finished reading killing crazy horse. Good read and is literally seeing the events of his life from his words and very matter of fact. No embellishments. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted September 4, 2021 Yes I have read it and agree with jdown. It really is enlightening dispels a lot of stories about him. It took me about 5 hours to read and it should be a part of American litterature and especially should be read by school kids in Arizona. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted September 5, 2021 Only two pictures of C S Fly are known to exist. The infamous shutterbug was camera shy. The article claims there are no photos of him, then posts one of two in existence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azrcks Report post Posted September 5, 2021 This is an interesting account as well. Cover pic is from Fly. Cool stories of the Apache scouts hunting antelope, coues, and turkeys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I know that if I had a Gazillion dollars, I don't think that I would buy up those two pics of CS Fly, if they were for sale! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm wondering if he didn't like his pic taken due to.his skin disease? But the studio portrait I posted was 'allegedly' taken by his own wife Mollie. Buy these pics, much better provenance... https://www.tpt.org/antiques-roadshow/video/antiques-roadshow-appraisal-1886-cs-fly-photo-cards/ This article mentions the pic you posted. https://www.eacourier.com/history/did-you-know-the-man-who-photographed-early-graham-county-c-s-fly/article_ffcb5e3e-635e-11e8-bf04-a76758513671.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10Turkeys Report post Posted September 5, 2021 Don't know why he was camera shy. I wonder if he made more money from his pics, or from his boarding house? And if he had any other money making interest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
