GERONIMO!!!

It was as cold as a witches teat and the wind was blowing across Oklahoma like it was in a real hurry to get somewhere on this cold December day. The grave site is on the eastern side of Fort Sill, where Geronimo was kept during his last years. Native American visitors leave ribbons tied to the tree limbs and trinkets of all sorts that are put on the monument. This is as much the American story as all the stuff that we learned in school about immigrants and their "taming" of the land. In Lawton, the Museum of the Plains has much more about Geronimo and the Apache Nation that was there before the white settlers.
