Geronimo's Rebellion and the Apache Wars

About this episode

The episode explores Geronimo's resistance against the United States and the events leading to his campaign.

Geronimo's name is famous across the world: the Apache warrior who led a resistance movement against the United States out in the South West for years... But what happened to Geronimo (or Goyaałé) that led to his campaign of resistance? Why did the US and Mexico feel like they had to bring him down? And how did his story end?
