Bookroo's summary

Geronimo, once a peaceful Apache, becomes a legendary warrior whose name strikes fear. What events led to his transformation, making him a target for the U.S. government? Discover the tragic journey of a fearless leader, shaped by whispers of invincibility and relentless pursuit.

From the publisher

“ No gun can ever kill you. “ Those are the magical words Geronimo heard whispered in the air, and that he believed true. Although his name is often linked with violence and even savagery, Geronimo’s early life was actually peaceful. What transformed him into one of the most renowned warriors in the Apache nation, a man whom the U.S. government wished captured or killed at any cost? This gripping biography captures the often-tragic experiences that defined the life of this fearless leader.”
