An Apache Warrior
By 1886 the United States had forced almost every American Indian onto a reservation. But in the Southwest, fewer than 40 Apache men, women, and children still fought back. The U.S. government sent 5,000 soldiers to capture them. But the army was really after only one man. His name was Geronimo.
Geronimo was an Apache warrior. He led other Apache warriors in battles against their enemies. White settlers were terrified of him. To them he was a heartless killer who would murder entire families, even unarmed women and children. Geronimo’s own people saw a different man. To them he was a medicine man with special god-given powers.
Renegade
Geronimo fought against U.S. Army troops so that he and his followers could live as they had in the past. He refused to stay on a reservation. He hid out in mountains where the army could not find him. He refused to give up his freedom to come and go as he pleased. That made him a renegade. For years the army tried to capture Geronimo. They never did. He outsmarted and outran the cavalry.
Did you know?
American Indian tribes did not want to be ruled by the United States government. They already had their own governments and their own laws. The U.S. government forced American Indians to live on reservations so that they could not interfere with white settlers. Many reservations were far from the tribes’ homelands.
