fe to TheodoreRoosevelt, President of the United States. Geronimo. PREFACE The initial idea of the compilation ofthis work was to give the reading publican authentic record of the private life of theApache Indians, and to extend to Geronimoas a prisoner of war the courtesy due anj^captive, i. e., the right to state the causeswhich impelled him in his opposition to ourcivilization and laws. If the Indians cause has been properlypresented, the captives defense clearlystated, and the general store of informa-tion regarding vanishing types increased, Ishall be satisfied. I desire to acknowledge valuable sug-gestions from Maj. Charles Taylor, FortSill, Oklahoma; Dr. J. M. Greenwood,Kansas City, Missouri, and President DavidR. Boyd, of the University of Oklahoma. PREFACE I especially desire in this connection tosay that without the kindly advice and as-sistance of President Theodore Rooseveltthis book could not have been written.Respectfully, S. M. Barrett. Lawton, Oklahoma.August 14, 1906.
