Mickey Free (1848/1851 - 1914), Apache name Mig-gan-la-iae, birth name Felix Telles, was an Apache Indian scout and bounty hunter on the American frontier. Following his kidnapping by Apaches as a child (an event which led to the Bascom Affair), he was raised as one and became a warrior. Later he joined the U.S. Army's Apache Scouts, serving at Fort Verde between December 1874 and May 1878 and was given the nickname Mickey Free.
