Follow this author

Geronimo (1829–1909) was a Bedonkohe leader of the Apache Chiracahua tribe. He orchestrated one of the last militarized Native American uprisings against the United States government, defending his tribe’s native lands for over twenty-five years. Born in No-Doyohn Canyon, New Mexico, he spearheaded raids in the Southwest until he surrendered to US troops in 1886. He documented his life in Geronimo’s Story of His Life in 1905.
