Geronimo (1823?–1909) Apache war leader in the American Southwest involved in the general warfare between the Apaches and the United States in the 1860s and who for many years repeatedly resisted efforts to remain on a reservation, crossing and recrossing the Mexican border as he fled U.S. troops. He attained a fearsome reputation, perhaps due to the attacks of his associates more than to his own. Geronimo finally surrendered in 1886 and spent the remainder of his life in confinement in Florida and Oklahoma.
