Geronimo, the later years


He has that same look that Wyatt Earp had.  Tough and no nonsense.

  1. Both were men who knew what it was to kill other men who pissed them off.

    1. You can tell just by his look why he and his boys were such a handful for the army. Imagine if he had had the advantage of numbers and technology, like we did. With the table turned, the Apache would probably have marched on Washington DC!

  2. The Apache were warriors, the army was composed of a mixed bag of soldiers. When they were well led by General Crook, they didn't do too badly -- all things considered. When they were led by General Miles, they did poorly.

    Even today, there are few warriors in uniform, but everyone in uniform is a soldier/sailor. Things haven't changed all that much.
