Geronimo (c.1829-1909), born in No-doyohn Canyon, Arizona, was leader of a
band of Chiricahua Apaches.  After his mother, wife, and children were
killed by Mexicans in 1858, he rose to fame leading many successful raids
against the Mexicans.  Hostilities between the Americans and the Apaches
began in the 1860's, and in 1872 General George Crook was called in to
place the Apaches on reservations.  Geronimo managed to escape and fled to
Mexico in 1876.  Pictured above is Geronimo, of the far right , with three
of his Apache warriors in the Sierra Madre Mountains during a conference
with General Crook in March 1886.
