About this ebook

The Apache of the American Southwest had long been in conflict with Mexican and U.S. soldiers and settlers by the time Geronimo began resisting these forces. The Apache warrior and his followers spent decades fighting to remain free and in control of their vast lands. The last stage of the long-running resistance began about 1877 when U.S. troops rounded up the Apache and moved them to a reservation. Unable to tolerate life there, Geronimo and his followers escaped several times, fleeing to the hills and their traditional ways. Each time they were captured and brought back. Geronimo surrendered for the last time in 1886 and Apache resistance collapsed. How would it affect the lives of the Apache and change the United States?

    THE GREAT WARRIOR GERONIMO

    A baby with a great destiny was born in about 1823. He was given the name Goyahkla, meaning one who yawns. But as this young Apache grew up, he came to prove his name false. He became known as Geronimo, one of the fiercest warriors in American history.

    The first photo of Geronimo was taken in 1884. Various spellings of his name included Goyahkla and Goyathlay.

    Geronimo was born into the Bedonkohe band of the larger Chiricahua Apache tribe. The Bedonkohe Apache lived in a part of Mexico that today is southeastern Arizona and western New Mexico. Geronimo came into manhood in troubled times. By the 1850s American Indians of the Southwest had long been at war with the Mexicans. Now they faced a new threat. American settlers, explorers, prospectors, and government troops began moving west
