Geronimo Photographs

Geronimo who, was again, a Native American from Arizona – probably was first photographed around 1883 when he first surrendered, and he was up to the White Mountain Apache. He was interned there; he stayed there until about 1885, and he finally broke free (and) went back took his people, and hid from the American military. He was able to elude capture until September of 1886. These photos are very interesting because they show him and his band of troops out in the field, and then in the process of being interned. And at this time what happened to Geronimo is they were all sent (including women and children) back east.
