    In a future episode, we will read from the Autobiography of Geronimo, "My Life," as told to S.M. Barrett, along with interpreter Asa Deklugie, son of Whoa. This episode covers more of Geronimo's attempts to avenge the deaths of his family members at Kas-Ki-Yeh.

    I am an RN and worked in Calif in a central valley hospital, in ICU, with General Crook's grt grandson in the 1980's! He would tell me about his relative while we tended to patients, and after he heard I was from Az. I had never heard of Crook's adventures fight Indians in Arizona. My family is from Az, so I did some research while working with Dr. Crook. He highly resembled this ancestor in an amazing way! Blonde sandy hair, even had a mustache. Now I live near Tucson, so I am familiar with the history and Crook campsites around me, while he was on his mission.
    Thanks for this post!

    Few videos about what happened to the hundreds of thousands if not millions of Spaniards, Mexican/Indian/Spaniards mix descendants in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, etc..
    In Natchez, MS there is a plaque in the downtown area that says that many of them changed their last names to Anglo ones in order to avoid conflict...

    The Seminole are technically still at war with the US they never signed a peace treaty. The last major fighting happened in 1858. The US gave up because they could never find them in the Everglades! Great story thanks.

      Beat me to it. Unless there are actually some of those mountain Comanche and Apache tribes tribes out there like used to attack Texas clean into the almost mid 20'th century. Awesome channel, though, love the content, keep getting intrigued by little nuggets like "Mrs. Lewis' terrible fate" and "how deadly our host really was." This guy's channel is going to be huge.

    Geronimo was in the words of Theodore Roosevelt a “ bad Indian “ really a terrorist that caused much trouble not only with the Whites but with his own tribe most of which did not support him

    It's refreshing to hear an accurate historical narrative. Instead of pc fantasy. Often we are given the notion of the noble indian living a gentle free life luving in accord with nature and not the accurate picture.The american indians were a violent and hostile and left the settlers no option then having to fight. Kidnapping, rape and torture was a common tactic used by the indians before the arrival of Europeans. Thank goodness our ancestors came and put an end to their barbarism. God bless America.

      Gave them no option to fight😅 , obviously you know very little about the Indian wars. I’ve spent the last few years of my life researching all the Indian conflicts of North America and have never come across an example where the settlers had no choice but to fight. Normally it was settlers continually encroaching on native land and the native leaders trying every possible way to avoid conflict until they eventually can’t take any more and wars break out. Your right they were a very violent bunch but your wrong when you say that rape was common. It was much more common for settlers to rape native women. Yes the Comanche and some other plains tribes did rape women they are the exception rather than the rule. In eastern woodlands tribes rape and sexual assault were a taboo because of their religion. It was extremely rare for eastern woodlands tribes to rape women. I even have heard an account of Cherokee chief dragging canoe catching one of his warriors molesting a captive women and then instantly putting him to death for the offense. You obviously know very little about Native American history and culture as a whole. I hope next time your not very well informed on a subject you’ll kept your mouth shut, unless you want to look like a fool again.

      No, no, no....Indian culture revolved around the Warrior Ethos Long Before Wh1tes came West. Boys trained to become "Braves" while girls were not much more that their body parts. They Despised Any Man that worked the land, and v1olent raids were how they showed their Bravery. Steal1ng Horses, "Taking" Women, and Butchering Men was in their job description; Wh1tes meanwhile, wanted to escape Famine and Oppression in Europe, that's why they came to the New World with not much more than the clothes on their back to scratch out a subsistence living (but who weeps for them?) They didn't travel West seeking to f1ght Indians, in fact, they greatly feared the Tribes. The US Army was compelled to meet force with an overwhelming force.
