When Geronimo and his warriors surrendered to the US Army, General
Miles made a number of promises for the surrender terms that were
in fact false. Geromino: Prisoner of Lies provides insights into
how Chiricahua prisoners of war lived while held in captivity by
the United States Army in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries as seen through the eyes of their war leader Geronimo.
The indignities and lies they suffered, and how they maintained
their tribal culture in the face of great pressure to change or
vanish entirely, are brought to life and provided new context
through this book.
