Geronimo Flees Arizona Reservation - May 17, 1885
Geronimo was an Apache Indian who lived in the Arizona Reservation. He achieved fame for being the last Indian to formally surrender to the United States. He was not happy about the United States taking over the Southwestern part of the country. He was confined to the Reservation but managed to escape. He eluded the authorities very well until he became weary. He surrendered and relocated to Florida. He died in 1909 of pneumonia in Oklahoma.
