Geronimo was one of the greatest Indian war leader.  He was the chief of the ChirichuaApache tribe.  He was born in present-day Clifton, Arizona on 1829.  He was notorious for his raids on the Mexican and American settlements that were in the southwest.  He started this raiding when his wife, mother and children were killed by Mexicans in 1858.
     After a number of raids on American settlements throughout New Mexico and most of the Great Plains, Geronimo was wanted by the U.S. Goverment and was chased into Mexico, were he was captured.  He was sent to Florida to an Indian reservation where he was converted to Christianity.  He participated in Teddy Roosevelt's inaugral ceremony before he died in 1906.
