So sad, much of the story is...especially how he was promised land of his own but then the promise broken, as it was so often. How interesting that the Apaches were brought to Florida--do you know just where they came from originally?Kierstihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854756754992820792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-66380459581985847012014-05-23T00:34:32.970-04:002014-05-23T00:34:32.970-04:00Just plain shameful how the Apaches were treated a...Just plain shameful how the Apaches were treated as oddities and people came just to stare at them!

However, they weren't the ones who lived in fear of Indian attack. And if you read Geronimo's story, he was reacting to a brutal attack on his own family by raiding Mexicans while he was away on a hunting party, and this eventually led to his attacks on white settlers as well.Marilyn Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613157670868692501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-35180811326542355632014-05-22T09:20:56.321-04:002014-05-22T09:20:56.321-04:00Melanie, Can you imagine being put on a train, the...Melanie, Can you imagine being put on a train, then a boat - neither of which you've ever been on - and taken to a strange environment?

I ...Hi Marilyn, thank you for an interesting post. I didn't really know what happened to Geronimo after his capture. It surprised me to learn that even in the nineteenth century some people were concerned about the treatment of Indians. and demanded the reunion of families.Margaret Brownleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083440011924979594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-50164007391694718212014-05-22T01:22:14.692-04:002014-05-22T01:22:14.692-04:00Marilyn, Thank you so much for the most interestin...Marilyn, Thank you so much for the most interesting post about Geronimo. To be uprooted from their homes and moved about over the course of their lives......I know it must have been so hard.<br /><br />mauback55 at gmail dot comMelanie Backushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727406782355039525noreply@blogger.com
