Cochise and Geronimo: a major question to clear up the misconceptions

What was the relationship between Chief Cochise and the much more famous (in European-American culture) Geronimo? They were both Apaches, they were contemporary, but there were major differences. There is even a large amount of evidence that they ultimately did not get along. It seems to be well portrayed in one of the Hollywood adaptations of the story.

What did Cochise look like?

This is a common question, because history shows us that Cochise never had a photo taken. He lived up through the 1860's into the 1870's, which is when cameras were first being invented and used more widely. Yet Cochise does not seem to be one of the early subjects of camera use. Even though he was so well known, the camera did not manage to capture his famous likeness.  There may have been many reasons for this, the main one being that he may have been against the use of the new camera devices.  Or it may have been that he and his tribe were living in a remote region and cameras were not able to extend their reach into their domain up to that day.
When we do a google search, we find these returns for any image of Cochise: https://www.google.com/search?q=cochise&rlz=1C1DVCC_enUS351MX507&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Cx_EVMecJriMsQTyuYCwDQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1680&bih=955
These are primarily artistic images, those which have been done after fact, with artists imagination.
Unfortunately, one of the most misguided and erroneous search returns is a photo rendition which is obviously not Chief Cochise. It can be scoffed at by looking here: https://www.google.com/search?q=cochise&rlz=1C1DVCC_enUS351MX507&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Cx_EVMecJriMsQTyuYCwDQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1680&bih=955#imgdii=_&imgrc=FNEPOb7FLDmIFM%253A%3B5knKWOOCsPl-aM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.greatdreams.com%252Fapache%252Fcochise.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.greatdreams.com%252Fapache%252Flozen.htm%3B307%3B357
This is most definitely not Cochise and it is very foolish and mistaken of somebody who blundered into labeling it as such.  We do know who that photo portrays.  It is explained in our book. Please see further - on our publishing site, for Civilogy Instituto.
Here is the younger son of Cochise, Naiche (who is said to bear a strikingly similar appearance to his famous father:
