description: The name still sends shivers down the spine and has the power to draw in young Geronimo, the legendary Indian who inspired and fought for his people. But who was this man, really? Here is the riveting tale of the last Apache warrior —told by the author of the bestselling Little Britches . Born in 1829 and steeped in the skills and stoicism valued by his tribe, Geronimo was transformed into a feared and respected renegade after witnessing the brutal slaughter of his family. Ultimately he spent more than 25 years eluding the U.S. Army, which sent 5,000 soldiers to hunt him down.Ralph Moody ’s first and most famous book was Little Britches , based on his childhood experiences on a Colorado ranch. He wrote nearly 20 others after, primarily biographies and histories. Moody died in his native New England in 1982.
