His face has appeared on T-shirts, postage stamps, jigsaw
puzzles, posters, and an Andy Warhol print. A celebrity and a
tourist attraction who attended three World's Fairs and rode in
President Theodore Roosevelt's inaugural parade, he is a character
in such classic westerns as Stagecoach and Broken Arrow. His name
was used in the daring military operation that killed Osama bin
Laden in 2011, and rumors about the location of his skull at a Yale
University club have circulated for a century. These are just a few
of the ways that the Apache shaman and war leader known to
Anglo-Americans as Geronimo has remained alive in the mainstream
American imagination and beyond.
Clements's study samples the repertoire of Geronimo stories and
examines Americans' changing sense of Geronimo in terms of
traditional patterns--trickster social bandit, patriot chief, sage
elder, and culture hero. He looks at the ways in which Geronimo
tried with mixed results to maintain control of his own image
during more than twenty years in which he was a prisoner of war.
Also examined are Geronimo's ostensible conversion to Christianity
and his image in photography and literature.
