I have no idea. It's for something I'm writing, not about MH. He must have wanted to be uploaded to see how things have changed = ) He's also geographically close to the tribe I belong to.

Are you certain the date on this photo is correct? Geronimo was born in 1829.

Swampy - I wondered about that too. That's part of the reason I uploaded the picture; the information given seemed inaccurate and I've even wondered if the picture is authentic. Even his "real" name, which wasn't Geronimo, is different from other Apache stories I've read and/or heard.

Later in his life Geronimo was a celebrity and toured the country letting people take his picture. Its an interesting point that although he fought against the US, the US had a tradition of honoring warriors. When the battle is concluded, warriors are no longer enemies.

He looks like my grandpa, but he was Spanish born in Islas Canarias. He passed away when I was 8. I was his favorite kid. I called him pop.

He looks a bit like my granddaddy too - he was Navajo. Swampy - I wonder if G can be compared to Ira Hayes - to a limited extent?

IM 1/4 Navajo, dont look it my mama dont either, her mom sure does !!!
