Title: The truth about Geronimo
First published: 1929
Description: Britton Davis's account of the controversial "Geronimo Campaign" of 1885?86 offers an important firsthand picture of the famous Chiricahua warrior and the men who finally forced his surrender. Davis knew most of the people involved in the campaign and was himself in charge of Indian scouts, some of whom helped hunt down the small band of fugitives Robert M. Utley's foreword reevaluates the account for the modern reader and establishes its his torical background.
