Geronimo: Story About This Western Indian Chief Will Never Die
AncientPages.com | July 21, 2018 |

David Tee  AncientPages.com - One of the cries that people make when they jump out of a perfectly good airplane with a parachute on is - Geronimo! How many people and how often it is invoked, we do not know. But its unique use is just one way this western Indian chief is remembered.

Geronimo was a man who was hated by the Whites and American soldiers at the time he lived.


When it came time for him to tell his own story, permission was first denied as the officer in charge at Fort Sill claimed that the actions of Geronimo throughout his life and the cost of his capture, approx. 12 million dollars, meant he deserved to be hanged not immortalized.

Here is a little of Geronimo’s story...

He livedto be quite old.

Around age 14 left home, for Wyoming/Montana and to work for bill Cody's Wild West Show. Cody was at the time, the most widely known person, in the world.


My grandfather wore an Indian made copper bracelet until his death, 1967 in Big Horn County, WY.
