Goyathlay (Geronimo) (c.1829-1909), Apache Leader
Goyathlay was a Chiricahua Apache leader whose wife, children, and mother were slaughtered in 1858. Goyathlay 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. The leader appears here during his imprisonment by the U.S. government, which forced him to cut his hair and wear Western clothing. Goyathlay died before the Apache prisoners were released. This photograph was taken at the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition in 1898 in Omaha, Nebraska.
