S3, E8, Pt 2 “W. Michael Farmer on Geronimo, Fort Sill and The Life of the Apache Warrior”

2 of 3 "I should never have surrendered. I should have fought until I was the last man alive." These are the words spoken on the deathbed of probably the most well-know Native American warrior in history, known as Geronimo. Some considered him a warrior, and many viewed him as a “sell-out, while others thought of him as a popular Native “character”, representative of all Indians in North America. I must admit, until I met Author (and retired PhD Physicist), W. Michael Farmer, I underestimated the significant warrior skills of Geronimo. Now I have an entirely new respect for this Apache fighter. In this episode of Native ChocTalk, you’ll learn about: • The Chiricahua Apache • Geronimo’s incredibly monumental warrior skills • The lesser-known story of the little girl, Trinidad and her encounter with Geronimo • Geronimo’s friendship with Quanah Parker • The warrior’s quest to be set free to go “home” • Skull & Bones Society, and the true-or-false controversy over Geronimo’s remains Check out W. Michael Farmer’s website where you can find the 3 books we cover in this episode: https://wmichaelfarmer.com/ • “The Odyssey of Geronimo, Twenty Three Years a Prisoner of War” • “Trini!
