      I love them, too. I seem to retain it better listening, than reading, plus it puts a visual picture, in my mind, as I imagine the scene being read. I've been a lover of book reading, all my life, so this is not being lazy, but as you said I don't have to pull out eyeglasses that I now need to use, reading.

    Geronimo was called that by the Mexican soldiers for St Jerome. So many battles & he came out unscathed. Tough landscape in that region, as are those who live in the mountains there. I lived near Ft. Huachuca a US Calvary post there in '67-68. I learned of him & a contemporary of his Cochese who was the Chief of the Chirracaua tribe also hunted by the US & Mexico. But both of them were evasive & kept the Soldiers at bay. Like anyone they only wanted their freedom & to keep the lands that had been theirs for a very long time, many generations !

      Geronimo was Cochises brother in law...he also interpreted for Cochise during his negotiations with General Oliver O Howard in 1872 and the verbal peace treaty kept until 1874 when Cochise died from stomach cancer.....his sons Taza and Naiche fought and killed their uncles Poinsenay and Skinyeh whom advocated for open war after Cochises death....Geronimo influenced Naiche to war after Tazas death in Washington DC in 1876...and btw the Apache were kicked out of Texas by the Comanche in the 1700s and fled to New Mexico and Arizona...

    my maternal grandfather was in the us army at ft. sill when geronimo was there. when he died they asked for a volunteer to stand guard, be the honor guard, until the burial. nobody would volunteer. someone suggested grandad. "let wyatt do it. he's married to one of them. " grandma was cherokee. they asked and he said, ok. he stood there by the coffin all that night , to keep the apaches from coming and stealing the body , to bury it in secret. the next morning he marched in the procession to the gravesite. they asked him wasn't he scared? of WHAT? he was DEAD! well, a few years ago just before the 100th anniversary of his death i got the idea to call ft. sill and ask if they were going to do anything to commemmorate. i told the lady at civil affairs the story. she said "there is somebody here who wants to talk to you!" she put on a fellow who was in charge of the organizing. seems he had been unable to find the name of the honor guard. nobody bothered to write it down. a 100 year old mystery solved. he invited me to come for the event. but the apaches and the government got into an argument over something and it was called off. one of geronimo's grandsons was still alive and would have been there. i would have gotten to meet him. once an uncle had thought he would treat the old man to a movie . took him to the theatre to see a geronimo movie. of course it was a big white guy. grandad felt indignation. he got up and called them frauds. he didn't look anything like the guy on the screen! walked out. said at least they could have found an indian actor . we have a hand painted photograph of steven j. wyatt, us army horse artillery , in his dress blues, taken at about the time of geronimo's passing.

    HOWEVER most have came away from their ways.
    I don't know but one Mexican he was a good man I have known a few native Americans and they also were good people but know many white people and they are good people so I'll believe the words of Geronimo cause today's ways of life won't let me judge those days but I will say that the Indian Nation was misjudged and deceived by a few people not the majority I can't judge the whole over them
    May some day we all can live in peace.

    What a beautiful story the first part of Geronimo growing up life. What a blessed nation. They had everything they needed, food and shelter, and they gave all their thanks for everything, to God. Without even reading a Bible, they had the intelligence to know there was a big spirit, in the sky, who made this beautiful world, and who made us.
    I'm at a loss of words to say how I feel about the treatment of the Indians, just that they got a very raw deal. They even were taking better care of the land, than is done now. I just wished they could have kept the land they wanted, and everyone
    else just moved around them. That was like a visitor comes as a guest, but kick the homeower out. Always with that selfish, "Mine, mine, mine", or "I want that so I take it". Sounds like a spoiled brat.
    All I can say is, "I'm sorry, to Indian Nation". God still have your nation in high regard, because the blood of your people, on this land, cries out to Him. Keep passing your culture on to your children. It's a beautiful culture, and will not be forgotten.

      And NONE of them owned an entire continent by the way.

    @3:44:54 In December 2014, President Barack Obama signed the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act, which would give land sacred to the Apache in Arizona to Resolution Copper Mine [RCM], a joint venture owned by Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. The Act cleared the way for the land swap in which Resolution Copper would receive 2,422 acres of National Forest land in exchange for deeding to the federal government 5,344 acres of private land. The mine would destroy an area set aside in 1955 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower that is sacred to the San Carlos Apache. The land contains more than 2,400 acres of the Oak Flat Campground, an area dotted with petroglyphs and historic and prehistoric sites. Said former San Carlos Apache tribal chairman Wendsler Nosie Sr. of the Act's attached rider: "This is Congressional politics at its worse, a hidden agenda that destroys human rights and religious rights."

    When I heard the reader's voice my heart sunk, for I had to struggle through her "reading" like a robot of another previous Indian related book.

    yes I am a "college boy" and I am currently learning purhepecha and nahuatl and I am also studying mesoamerican cultures and traditions. I hope by my comments you understand that I am actually on your side and not the spaniards.

    Am I the only one feeling sick as the Apaches being referred as "Prisoners of war"? All this in 1905. Shockingly sad

    1-16 INF captured this guy! An important part of the unit's history!

      For any Apache's offended by this, 1-16 had a Cherokee with us in Afghanistan during 2011. We should be happy that the Apaches were only rivaled by one of the greatest units in the Military to date!
      I'm grateful for all the things that have happened so far and I hope American Indians continue to honor our great Unit, as we do them!
