Apache Indian chief, of whose early history nothing is known. For a long time his band had been committing depredations, and finally an expedition under General George Crook was sent in pursuit. On March 25, 1886, terms were made with the chief and his band, who were sent to Fort Bowie, but they escaped on March 29th. The expedition was pronounced a failure, and, on his request to be relieved, General Crook was succeeded by General Miles. Pursuit was made until the exhausted band of Geronimo was compelled to come to terms, September 4, 1886; and the chief, with fourteen companions, was sent to Fort Pickens, FL.
