LOT OF THREE (3) ARIZONA HIGHWAYS MAGAZINES - GERONIMO - FAMOUS INDIAN CHIEF - FACTS & PHOTOS -  GERONIMO - RENEGADE TO SHOWMAN - THE MAN WHO CAPTURED GERONIMO.

Geronimo was a prominent leader of the Bedonkohe Apache, who fought against Mexico and Arizona for several decades during the Apache Wars.  The name "Geronimo" was the name given to him during a battle with Mexican soldiers.  Geronimo's Chiricahua name is often rendered in English as Goyathlay or Goyahkla, which means "the one who yawns".

After a Mexican attack on his tribe, where soldiers killed his mother, wife and his three children in 1858, Geronimo joined a number of revenge attacks against the Mexicans.

In 1886, after a lengthy pursuit, Geronimo surrendered to Arizona authorities as a prisoner of war. At an old age, he became a celebrity, appearing at fairs, but he was never allowed to return to the land of his birth.

In February 1909, Geronimo was thrown from his horse while riding home, laid in the cold all night before a friend found him extremely ill. He died of pneumonia on February 17, 1909, as a prisoner of the United States at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. On his deathbed, he confessed to his nephew that he regretted his decision to surrender.  His last words were reported to be said to his nephew, "I should have never surrendered.  I should have fought until I was the last man alive."  He was buried at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in the Apache Indian Prisoner of War Cemetery.
