"Once I shifted around like the blowing wind. Now I surrender for you and that is all." Geronimo's words of March, 1886, spoken in Mexico to General George Crook were intended to end roughly 26 many years of savage warfare for both white settlers and Apaches in the southwestern area of the US. Geronimo surrendered, but a alert from a whisky salesman that the warriors would be wiped out once they were back in US place, prompted Geronimo to flee the same day plus a band of about 40 Apaches. A surrender accompanied by escape is only one of some controversial behaviors surrounding the life span of Geronimo, one of the most well-known of Indigenous American chiefs. Like many areas of Geronimo's life, information on his delivery are controversial. Geronimo areas in his biography that he was born in Az in 1829. Experts on his life hold, however, that he was born near the middle fork of the Gila River in New Mexico about 1823. The precise information on Geronimo's delivery and early on years are sparse due to the preliterate culture of Apaches. Yet, the traditions and habits of Geronimo's people offer us an understanding with their strong ties to the land for which they were eager to battle to the fatality. No churches, temples, mosques, or synagogues graced Apache land; instead, the land, itself, was sacred. Believing the Great Heart had purposely positioned the tribes in the southwest, a mother would bury her afterbirth near a fruit-bearing bush or tree and pray that her child would live to see many harvests of fruits from the tree. The tribe well known the brotherhood of all things.
