Naiche and wife. Naiche was Chiricahua chief. Geronimo was war leader, but second to Naiche. Naiche was second son of Cochise.
Geronimo and Naiche, March 1886.
Tsisnah, son of Geronimo on right.
Style mattered to them!
Geronimo and his warriors. Naiche on horse.
Geronimo at 1st surrender in March 1886. He and a number (including Naiche) fled as they expected the Army was going to execute them. They surrendered a final time in September 1886.
My grandfather took a photo supposedly of Geronimo but my father sent it to his brother to show to his children, in the 1950's and it seems to have disappeared. Pity, I'd like to think it was a little like the one of him on horseback..
ReplyDeleteThanks for these photographs. V.V.G!
