I hope that he and those in authority under him will read my story and judge whether my people have been rightly treated.”—Geronimo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This book contains one of the most extraordinary and invaluable documents in the annals of Native American history—the authentic testament of a remarkable “war shaman” who for several years held off both Mexico and the United States in fierce defense of Apache lands. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring 1905 and 1906, Geronimo, the legendary Apache warrior and honorary war chief, dictated his story through a native interpreter to S.M. Barrett, then superintendent of schools in Lawton, Oklahoma. As Geronimo was by then a prisoner of war, Barrett had made appeals all the way up the chain of command to President Teddy Roosevelt for permission to record the words of the “Indian outlaw.” Geronimo came to each interview knowing exactly what he wanted to cover, beginning with his telling of the Apache creation story. When, at the end of the first session, Barrett posed a question, the only answer he received was a pronouncement—“Write what I have spoken.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Now Geronimo’s narrative, with S.M. Barrett’s original commentary, has been set in historical perspective by Frederick Turner’s new introduction on the latest scholarship about the period. These elements combine in \u003ci\u003eGeronimo: His Own Story \u003c\/i\u003eto provide unique insights into the beliefs, customs, and way of life of a remarkable man and his people.\u003ci\u003eNewly Revised and Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Frederick Turner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrations\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction by Frederick Turner\u003cbr\u003eA Note on the Text\u003cbr\u003eIntroductory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: The Apaches\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
