| Summary |
First published in 1906, Geronimo is the collaborative work between Geronimo, chief of the Chiricahua Apache, and author S.M. Barrett. The latter was given special permission from President Theodore Roosevelt to interview Geronimo while he was a prisoner of war at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. What Barrett recorded is a blunt, firsthand account of the twenty-five years Geronimo spent fighting the U.S. government. In Geronimo, the famous Native American discusses the history of the Apache people-where they came from, their early life, and their tribal customs and manner. |
