A collection of 45 photographs (glass plate negatives, lantern slides, and copy prints) of Chiricahua? Apache people at an encampment in Arizona, approximately 1899. Images include Apache men, women, and children in a line outside a federal agency building in San Carlos, Arizona; a woman and man displaying baskets; Apache men standing in a line next to a U.S. Army soldier; brush huts and adobe buildings; Apache men riding horses and holding guns (probably scouts). Three images show Apache men and a boy in poses for the Devil Dance, wearing headdresses, masks, and blankets, and holding weapons. One group portrait depicts Native American and Anglo men and women posed together. There are also five copy photographs of the collector, Reverend Berry Edmiston, and his wife Ednah Lee Edmiston, seen in youth and in old age, including one image of them standing outside their Riverside, California home, approximately 1890s. Box 1 contains copy prints of all the glass plate negatives, and 17 of 30 lantern slides. Some lantern slides are duplicates of the glass plate images.

This disbound album contains 123 photographs taken by photographer A. Frank Randall between 1883 and 1888. The images include studio and field photographs of Apache Indians taken during the United States military campaign to capture Apache renegades during the Apache Wars. The majority of Randall's photographs are portraits of men, women, and children from various Apache tribes in Arizona and New Mexico. Among these photographs are images of a fox tamer; a fiddler; a flutist; a well-dressed, possibly high ranking Apache man; medicine men; young girls; mothers and their infant children; and Apache chiefs. Portraits of United States Army officers and scouts include Nelson A. Miles, Leonard Wood, Wilber E. Wilder, Roger Ames, Henry W. Lawton, William A. Thompson, Amos S. Kimball, John A. Dapray, Thomas J. Clay, Frank P. Bennett, Buffalo Jack, an Arizona female scout, and Apache scouts. Randall also included photographs of Rancho Camulos, many of which show people dramatizing scenes from Helen Hunt Jackson's novel "Ramona." Antonio Franco Coronel appears in some scenes. Other images include views of Missions Santa Barbara and San Juan Capistrano, what may be Vasquez Creek and Tujunga Canyon near Los Angeles, and views of Guaymas, Mexico.
