These questions have haunted the posthumous reputation of Apache warrior Geronimo. |
That is not to say that Geronimo did not fight for a cause that was very real to him. |
When Geronimo surrendered, a small group of Apaches escaped to the Sierra Madre of northern Mexico. |
Geronimo was the last renegade, the last man to defy the continent-straddling power of the American nation. |
After years of evading white soldiers Geronimo was taken to Florida and treated as a prisoner of war. |
Upon their surrender, Geronimo and over 300 of his fellow Chiricahuas were shipped to Fort Marion, Florida. |
