Biography: Geronimo

This is the story of one of the most famous figures in Western lore: Geronimo. The Apache warrior achieved mythic status with his resistance to the white man's encroachment into Indian territories. Geronimo refused to bow to the wishes of the U.S. government and its enforcers. Time and again he fought the U.S. Army and pioneers, and escaped unscathed. He became a symbol that the American government wanted to destroy. Archival news reports, journals, and dramatic reenactments chronicle the deeds of this ferocious warrior. Rare film footage shows Geronimo at Teddy Roosevelt's inauguration. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter
