This Halcyon Classics ebook is the autobiography of the Chiricahua Apache medicine man and leader Geronimo (Goyaałé). Geronimo (1829-1909) was a war leader who waged numerous campaigns against both Mexico and the United States in Arizona and Northern Mexico. Geronimo had a particular dislike of Mexicans which stemmed in part from an 1858 raid on his camp which killed many of his followers, including his wife, children, and mother. After decades of fighting, Geronimo was one of the last American Indian leaders to surrender to the United States (1886). He was a prisoner of war, but late in life he became a celebrity, visiting the 1904 World"s Fair in St. Louis and riding in Teddy Roosevelt"s inaugural parade in 1905. Geronimo died of pneumonia in 1909, an exile from the lands of his birth. This ebook is DRM free and contains an active table of contents.
