Geronimo's Grave, Fort Sill, Lawton, Oklahoma

For some reason, I was drawn to visit his gravesite. In the foreground of the photo is the headstone for one of his nine wives, Zi-Yeh. Geronimo was a great Apache warrior and leader. Yes he killed many people, but in almost every case, it was in retaliation for attacks on his people. He died in 1909 from pneumonia after falling from his horse and laying on muddy ground overnight. He lived to be almost 80, an amazing number for that era.
