Geronimo
Hardcover
(Scholastic Inc. March 1, 2006)
Acclaimed author Joseph Bruchac weaves history and suspense into a riveting account of Geronimo's last days.
"He held up his right hand to show how his third finger was bent back from being struck by a bullet. Then he thumped his palm against his chest, his shoulder, his thigh, touching places where bullets and knives had pierced his flesh...where scars showed how hard it was to kill Geronimo..."
After years of standing against the U.S. government, the great warrior and spiritual leader Geronimo's life is coming to an end, as his grandson visits him where he is imprisoned, in Fort Sill, OK in 1908.
