content: Geronimo's signature on a small scrap of paper. One letter, authored by Roy Bunten in 1972, describes the signature of Geronimo that he obtained at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis (also known as the Louisiana Purchase Expedition) for ten cents. The letter describes Geronimo as a prisoner of the U.S. Government, brought to the 1904 Fair from Fort Sill as part of an "Indian exhibit." The second letter is from Odie B. Faulk (Head, Dept. of History, Oklahoma State University) to Mrs. Keith Campbell of Steven's Point, WI (Bunten's daughter), stating that Genonomo was known to have sold signatures at the 1904 World's Fair, and gives suggestions of names of individuals who Campbell might speak to for additional information.
