About the author:

Geronimo was born on June 16th, 1829, in Arizona (then a part of Mexico), and died on February 17th, 1909, in Oklahoma. After his wife and children were killed in a Mexican raid, Geronimo spent the majority of his life in constant warfare with the Mexicans, and later, the Americans. Near the end of his life, he was finally captured and held as a prisoner of war by the Americans. A celebrity for his fearless deeds, he appeared at the 1904 St. Louis Worlds Fair, and rode in President Theodore Roosevelt's 1905 inaugural parade.
