158 The West: Geronimo

As we draw down the arc of episodes related to post-Civil War
Indian Wars, in this episode we will concentrate on subduing
Geronimo. Geronimo bedeviled the US Army as he left the
reservation three separate times. For the last two campaigns,
General George Crook successfully cornered the proud warrior and
compelled him to return to the reservation. Unfortunately, Crook
was not happy the second time Geronimo went on the campaign trail
and he was sent into exile in Florida. The native peoples who
have inhabited this continent are still here today. Despite the
trauma of this period, they are contributing to their local
communities and carrying their ancestors legacy into the future.
Let's celebrate that.
