I went to school with his great great great great grandson. They looked so much alike it's crazy.(one day his dad picked up from school long shinny jet-black hair. ) That's all I have to say maybe I'll find him on Facebook manuel was my schoolmates name lol
That's very interesting. Occasionally I run into a Chiricahua Apache and they do look different. Terrific hair. They are very unique. That's cool you went to school with him.
Dear Arizona Ghostriders: Thanks for the precis. Y'all honored a mighty warrior. A man who perforce became a law unto himself. The solemnity of this episode honors the entire production. I became a US Soldier because I learned that the Army Academy at West Point still taught his battle tactics. Anyway happy summer!ooh btw I'm binging The adventures of Brisco County Jr. Old Tucson.
I went to basic training at Fort Sill. There were a few places not directly related to pur training we had to go. One of them was the museum and the other was Geronimo's grave. As a history buff, i remember feeling a mixture of awe and sorrow looking at the marker during the day. The penultimate day we had to do a ruck march. We walked all over Fort Sill and one of the places we passed by was his grave again, this time in the very early morning. You could see and there was light but the sun hadn't really risen. Looking over and seeing it at such an early hour, you get a chill that runs up your spine.
When I was a little kid, my dad bought a new house at 5502 E Silver Street, just south of Fort Lowell Park. Back then, there was no park, just adobe ruins in the desert where my brother and I would play all day long.
L'amour was the man! I had read that any place he descibed, he had been there. I doubted that until I went to Austria and skied in a place called Axams which he described as being in the mountains near Innsbruck. That is exactly where it was and I never doubted him again. His last book (the name escapes me) about an American airman (Navajo as I recall) escaping the USSR by going east across Siberia was his masterpiece.
I yell this word everytime i climax. Now i understand the true origins behind the name. Thanks to Santee and the AG crew! You know your pal Hosea all too well! Hosea Matthews approves.
@@ArizonaGhostriders at least i know ill be remembered now. Jeez all i was known for before was a good bank job and a bullet in the back.. *shakes fists* DANG PINKERTONNNSSSS!
In a way, yes. However, Wyatt Earp was only after the people involved with the killing of Morgan and maiming of Virgil. Geronimo and the others killed just by association of culture.
Yet another great video, Santee! Geronimo was also an entrepreneur. He always carried lots of spare buttons and needles and thread so that he could rip the buttons off his coat to sell to whomever wanted a souvenir (for 25 cents each). He would then sew the spares back on to sell to others. He was worth $10,000 when he died.
Cool, thanks. Reading about all that brutality from all the cultures involved makes me very skittish. I'm not sure I would have wanted to meet him pre-surrender.
@@alswann2702 the Apache did know about the Comanche and the northern tribes the Lakota Cheyenne and Arapaho. There are even legends of the Arapaho the Apache tried to invaded their hunting ground and the Arapaho defeated them and chased the back to New Mexico plus their dealings with the Mexican army. They were born warriors and I imagine they did trust to many people.
Geronimo is one of my favorite historical characters. The Apaches were some of the greatest guerilla fighters ever. Who else held off the whole United States Army with a band of 30 men? I still wouldn't have wanted to have fallen into his hands though. The Apaches were very brutal in their torture of enemies.
Yes. Until I did the research, I had no idea of the atrocities. Not just from the Apache, but the Mexican army and US. But, yes. Their hit and run tactics were amazing.
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks for speaking honestly about us. Shoshone myself but we native peoples are related.. i have a bumper sticker "trust the government? ask an Indian".
@@steffenam technically all indigenous peoples are aborigines. our tribal names often translated simply as "the people". "Indian" is a very old error since columbus mistook our lands for a subcontinent across a wide ocean. however it's short and in common use. i like Amerind myself. your politician shouldn't have been criticized. some tribes were matriarchal and matrilineal. female leaders weren't unknown and only foolish chiefs didn't listen to their women. we weren't saints. our ancestors lived hard often brutal lives and community was essential for survival.
@@steffenam human history in general is full of conflict. the circumference of the earth had been calculated by columbus' time and maps of india existed . he had to suspect that he was nowhere near india.
@@steffenam well, because of the german author Karl May and his fictional Apache chief Winnetou Germans love American Natives.... Unlike in America every child wants to be an "Indian". As a little child about 4 i visited an ethnological museum. In a showcase was a figurine wearing a full chiefs outfit. (Mandan chief Mato tope) I was so impressed i wanted to become an "Indianerhäuptling" (Indian chief) Now 50 years later i'm an American Native Hobbyist... I've learned a lot about indigenous people and have high respect for their culture.
I swear I'm not trying to say plug myself here, but I want to thank you for making these videos. I started a role-playing game podcast and the first theme is a sci-fi western, and your videos were instrumental for both research and inspiration. As a nod towards you guys I named the first adversary the players came across William Blazleton, a slight parody of the name of eveyone's favorite ghost that hangs around here. I also credited you guys and linked your channel, but if that's a problem or you guys don't want it I can remove them, no problem
This is the coolest real story…..worth reading…just before his death his last words were reported to be said to his nephew, "I should have never surrendered. I should have fought until I was the last man alive."….I still see him riding restlessly over is tribal lands looking for the ghosts of general Miles and his soldiers…..🙏
I love that scene from Hot Shots 😂😂😂 I have a placard with Geronimo and his life story. Very interesting man, he seemed to really not care for Mexicans at all. He never saw his homeland again, sadly.
He never did. He was a prisoner of war until the day he died. Seriously, the Apache were so good at hit and run tactics that they didn't want to let them out!
🌟😎💕❤️ awesomely awesome and well done video, actually also like Native American culture, history , places and names. I actually have Native American as part of my ethnic background that is Sioux . While the other part of my ethnic background is German
Come to watch and say thanks for your friendship really appreciate you santee hope you and your family are doing well always interesting to listen and learn about the wild West they certainly did a dirty trick on the Apaches what them arrows lol 👍
It would probably depend on what time frame you believe the Old West falls under. Semi-autos didn't start showing up until around 1896, around the same time that the Old West as we commonly know it passed into history. However there were parts of the USA and Mexico that continued to behave like the Old West well into the 1930s, long after semi-autos were first introduced.
Aaahhhh, that was very refreshing. It was cool to learn more about Geronimo. I hadn't the slightest clue that he wasn't able to become the chief of his tribe to to his father being from a sub-tribe
Good history of Geronimo & native Americans. We boomers grew up with a distorted view of them thanks to movies & TV.......Not surprised to see that politics had a role in their culture.
Santee, Thank you for the link to the book, I plan to read it later. Thank you for the episode on Geronimo. He’s a interesting figure from the Old West. I really like your content on your channel.
Very awesomely awesome and fantastically fantastic informative video, I really loved and enjoyed it very much. I definitely absolutely learned a lot about Geronimo the greatest Apache warrior. I also got inspiration for my book tales of the old West: haunting legends of the superstition ancient mountains that I’m writing.🌟😎💕❤️
It was the Spanish who gave him the name Geronimo, it came from the Spanish people praying out loud for St Gerome to save them during one of the Apache raids on a town, to the Apache it sounded like they were screaming Geronimo, and that name stuck. He wore it as a badge of pride, the fear it struck into the hearts of others was worth it to him.
I wonder when the word "geronimo" became something to yell sorta like a battle cry. Might it have been because Geronimo was a great warrior? It would be interesting to track that little bit of history down.
Thank you for covering some native character’s as they often get skimmed over or portrayed as the bad guys and I hope you do some more videos on native Americans in the future
He who yawns grew up in a culture known to contemporaneous folk as enemy. Modern revisions of actual history lack depth of understanding. He Who Yawns was not a good guy. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Whilst the depredations visited upon him by papist Spaniards merited death and mutilation, his hatred for those who did not look like him shows his fear and prejudice.
Nice this was an awesome video. I like learning about the Apache anything I can and Arapahoe they are a very interesting tribe as well. Another good book to read is The Killer of Witches the life and times of Yellow Boy Mescalairo Apache. It not historical but the series is awesome and give you some good insight to the beliefs and religion of the Apache.
In the book you talk about, Geronimo: My life with S. M. Barrett. Geronimo spoke about the first whites that he met, how they were good and honest people that the Apaches had a very good relationship with. It was when the government folks came in that his problems with whites started. It's quick read, but good book with great insight into the man. Another good video, heck you could go a few minutes longer on these videos.
It was that way for many of our people. Certain people in our government want to paint the white man of that time as a monolithic bad guy. That could not be further from the truth. My great grandparents have told me many wonderful stories of working together with the settlers. It wasn't until gold was found in the black hills that things got bad for us. Greed is a horrible thing.
@@robertjensen1438 to much of anything is not good. Unfortunately back then when to many white people want something and they have govt backing them , then it gets dirty and it turns dirty. Just like today , it's going to turn dirty,,,, again.
Thumbs down are folks who are jealous they can't rock a loin cloth like an Apache.
Santee, you sir ARE NOT A '' CROOK '' . You will get 500,000 miles, from that TOYOTA TACOMA, YOU HAVE ! ! !!
How a bout sitting bull
Geronimo was my favorite warrior.
Cool.
"Geronimo, Geronimo....Me!!"
Santee you got me with that with that video clip. I almost sped up my coffee. Lol
Glad you enjoyed it
I went to school with his great great great great grandson. They looked so much alike it's crazy.(one day his dad picked up from school long shinny jet-black hair. ) That's all I have to say maybe I'll find him on Facebook manuel was my schoolmates name lol
That's interesting!
I forget his name but I just watched a video of Chief Sitting Bull’s great, great grandson and he looks like Chief Sitting Bull.
That's very interesting. Occasionally I run into a Chiricahua Apache and they do look different. Terrific hair. They are very unique. That's cool you went to school with him.

Yes. That is a great experience you had. Meeting Geronimo post-surrender would have been interesting. But pre-surrender it would have gone badly.
I was a MP for a time at Ft. Silly back in the 70’s. We patrolled the cemetery because assholes were always cutting the head off the memorial….
In times of killing, lying , and greed from those that try to control, good men like Geronimo are made.
True.
I always enjoy the American Indian stories, and history. Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
I was stationed in Fort Sill, got to visit alot of these places.
Very cool!
Was at Ft Sill forBasic and AIT in '83. Visit Jacksboro if you can. Buffalo Soldiers' barracks.
When I was a little kid, my dad bought a new house at 5502 E Silver Street, just south of Fort Lowell Park. Back then, there was no park, just adobe ruins in the desert where my brother and I would play all day long.
I wish they had been able to save more of it.
Outstanding ! Geronimo is my favorite! Being a 1/4 Cherokee myself, Geronimo always has a place in my heart!
Much appreciated.
Always loved Louis L’amour’s books that involved the Apaches.
L'amour was the man! I had read that any place he descibed, he had been there. I doubted that until I went to Austria and skied in a place called Axams which he described as being in the mountains near Innsbruck. That is exactly where it was and I never doubted him again. His last book (the name escapes me) about an American airman (Navajo as I recall) escaping the USSR by going east across Siberia was his masterpiece.

Yes.
Geronimoooo, Geronimoooo, Meeeeee! Hilarious! Great video Santee!
Hahah! Thanks
That was a funny clip!
Yeah. It made me laugh too. I forgot about that movie.

Very sharp!

One tough dude ... I ride many of the same trails he did .. good stuff!
Thank you!
“A very prominent post during the Apache wars.”.. I can see why! That chain link fence was a great barricade! They could even fire rifles through it!
HA! The only buildings that survived intact are the museum ones. I really wish efforts to preserve it had started earlier.
"White chief, give us stuff" was legitimately hilarious.
Glad you laughed!
GERONIMO! The myth the hero of Native American's ! Very well chosen amigo Santee 😊. A great weekend too y'all and see you down this trail.
You too! Thank you!
C.S. Fly's photos of the local Natives are so very cool. A great glimpse into the local people!

@@ArizonaGhostriders as a friend Yes 😁
Considering the treatment of the Cherokee and the Seminoles, I can see why the Apache were reticent in trusting the Army and the Federal Government.
I hear you.
I seriously doubt that at the time the Apaches had ever even heard of the Cherokee or Seminole.
@@alswann2702 You are right. However, they had dealings with the army, who had a problem with being honorable.

It not historical but the series is awesome and give you some good insight to the beliefs and religion of the Apache.
Thanks!!
Good lesson to hear
Important for us to know about all our history.
In the book you talk about, Geronimo: My life with S. M. Barrett. Geronimo spoke about the first whites that he met, how they were good and honest people that the Apaches had a very good relationship with. It was when the government folks came in that his problems with whites started. It's quick read, but good book with great insight into the man. Another good video, heck you could go a few minutes longer on these videos.
Unfortunately, he wasn't the first, and certainly wouldn't be the last.
It was that way for many of our people. Certain people in our government want to paint the white man of that time as a monolithic bad guy. That could not be further from the truth. My great grandparents have told me many wonderful stories of working together with the settlers. It wasn't until gold was found in the black hills that things got bad for us. Greed is a horrible thing.
@@robertjensen1438 to much of anything is not good. Unfortunately back then when to many white people want something and they have govt backing them , then it gets dirty and it turns dirty. Just like today , it's going to turn dirty,,,, again.
Thanks.
@@robertjensen1438 I agree. My great grandparents on my moms side, were very good friends with the Blackfoot, even speaking their language.
