GC04 1/9th Geronimo of the Chiricahua Apache £23.75

"Crueller features were never cut. The nose is broad and heavy, the forehead low and wrinkled, the chin full and strong, the eyes like two bits of obsidian with a light behind them. The mouth, -a sharp, straight, thin-lipped gash of generous length and without one softening curve." This description by a journalist in 1886 reflected the awe and the terror that Geronimo, the last Apache leader to defy the U.S. government, inspired to his contemporaries. Outraged by the massacre of his family by the Mexicans, Geronimo, together with his band of Chiricahua devastated the entire Southwestern region on both sides of the Rio Grande. After more than ten years of pillage and raiding, he surrendered and spent the rest of his life as a prisoner of war. He died in 1909 aged 85. Like all "hostiles", constantly on the run and living exclusively from raids, Geronimo is shown here wearing captured clothing with the only "Indian" items being his Apache style necklace and his turquoise earrings. Of note is the Mexican army whistle hanging from the aforementioned necklace.
