Sierra Madre Mountains, Mexico, March 27, 1886 — Geronimo and three well-armed American Indian war
heroes posed for a photograph in their Indian camp holding their late 19th century military rifles during extended surrender negotiations with United States Army General George Crook.
The notorious Apache warriors, pictured here in the heat of their resistance efforts, were to finally surrender to General Nelson A. Miles in Skeleton Canyon on September 4, 1886 (some six months after this historic Indian photo was taken).
Geronimo's efforts in successfully fighting government forces are noted by historians as being the last significant guerrilla warfare actions by Indians against the United States.
