    About this ebook

    I Meet Geronimo and Other Stories is a collection of nine stories written by author and poet Charles Bane, Jr. These tales range from the title story, about a young boy’s memorable meeting with the famed Indian chief, Geronimo, when the chief was a member of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, to thrilling a narrative of a man hired to kill a marauding tiger in India. Each story bears the stamp of the author’s prodigious story-telling skill as well as his beautiful command of language, his signature skill as a poet.
