American Experience (1988)

Episode Overview

In February 1909, the unyielding Chiricahua Apache medicine man Geronimo found himself on his deathbed. Calling for his nephew, he confided, “I never should have surrendered. I should have battled until I was the last one standing.” This moment revealed the deep regret of a man whose relentless fight against seemingly insurmountable challenges baffled not only his adversaries in Mexico and the United States but also many of his own Apache kin.
