Told as a prisoner of war at Fort Sill and taken down through an Apache interpreter by the Oklahoma educator S. M. Barrett, this autobiography describes Apache origins, customs and family life, the killing of Geronimo’s mother, wife and children by Mexican troops, years of raids and battles in Mexico, and the campaigns against the United States.
Dedicated to Theodore Roosevelt, who allowed it to be published, it is a rare first-person record from the Apache side of the wars. Download the free EPUB.
