Unsung Heroes 2: Geronimo


Listen Later

This unsung heroes episode delves intro the story of Geronimo, a great American who defied the American push to take his land in the 1850s-80s. His life started to become well known in his strong defiance that he put up against the American and Mexican Military that led to him becoming a newspaper sensation. The incredible resistance that he put up led to him being pursued by 1/4 of the U.S. standing army at the time and eventually his desire just to be back on his native lands did get granted, but only 4 years after his death. The story of Geronimo is quite epic as he spent most of his life avenging the loss of his family in pursuit of liberty and freedom for his people.
