EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative image captures Geronimo (Goyathlay), the legendary Chiricahua Apache leader who led a sensational campaign against the encroaching white settlers in the American Southwest from 1885 to 1886. Born around 1829, Geronimo's Indian name translates to 'the one who yawns,' a name that belies the fierce determination and unyielding spirit he displayed throughout his life. Geronimo's resistance against the US military began in earnest in 1850, when he joined the Chiricahua Apache resistance against Mexican and later American expansion into their lands. Over the years, Geronimo and his band were involved in numerous skirmishes and raids against the US Army, earning a reputation as one of the most elusive and formidable Native American leaders. Despite his legendary status, Geronimo was eventually captured in 1886 and forced to surrender, bringing an end to the Chiricahua resistance. He spent the remainder of his life in exile, first at Fort Marion in Florida, and later in Oklahoma. Geronimo died in 1909, having lived through a tumultuous and transformative period in American history. This photograph, taken during Geronimo's later years, captures the intensity and resilience of a man who refused to be subdued, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Geronimo's story is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Native American people and their ongoing struggle for sovereignty and recognition.
