Geronimo was a prominent leader and medicine man from the Bedonkohe band of the Chiricahua Apache tribe. From 1850 to 1886 Geronimo joined with members of three other Chiricahua Apache bands—the Tchihende, the Tsokanende and the Nednhi—to carry out numerous raids as well as resistance to US and Mexican military campaigns in the northern Mexico states of Chihuahua and Sonora, and in the southwestern American territories of New Mexico and Arizona. Geronimo''s raids and related combat actions were a part of the prolonged period of the Apache–United States conflict, which started with American settlement in Apache lands following the end of the war with Mexico in 1848.Contents: The Apaches Origin of the Apache IndiansSubdivisions of the Apache Tribe Early Life Tribal Amusements, Manners, and Customs The Family The MexicansKas-ki-yehFighting under Difficulties Raids that were Successful Varying Fortunes Other Raids Heavy Fighting Geronimo''s Mightiest Battle The White MenComing of the White Men Greatest of Wrongs Removals In Prison and on the Warpath The Final Struggle Surrender of Geronimo A Prisoner of War The Old and the NewUnwritten Laws of the Apaches At the World''s Fair Religion Hopes for the Future
