Goyathla (Geronimo), Apache Leader (c.1829-1909)
Here is Goyathla (Geronimo), the Chiricahua Apache leader whose wife, children, and mother were slaughtered in 1858. He resisted the U.S. government policy to consolidate his people on reservations by leading a series of raids against Mexican and American settlements in the Southwest. This photograph by Walton George Harrington is incorrectly titled "Geronimo, Chief of the Apaches" - Goyathlay was not a chief.
