In the book, born to run, the author talks about how Geronimo would lead his guerilla fighters against the US soldiers and let them chase him back into the canyons in Mexico, where he would vanish, and so would his pursuers, because the army would get lost, caught in flash floods, attacked by animals, snakes or die of starvation or thirst. He was great at letting nature dispose of people who were after him...the Barrancas are where a number of famous people have vanished, never to be heard from again, like Ambrose Bierce....

[@ericakatasha2502]

🤔 go on, tell me more please...

[@christineparis5607]

@@ericakatasha2502 "Geronimo used to skedaddle into the copper canyons when on the run from the US Calvery, so did his protege, the Apache Kid. "By the time you saw the Apache Kid, it was entirely too late." Pursuing them into the maze of canyons meant the risk of never coming out again. John Burke, a US Calvery Captain barely survived an unsuccessful pursuit of Geronimo into the canyons. After days of baking in the sun, soldiers would welcome the relief of a few dark clouds. Within minutes, they would be trapped in a surge of water as powerful as a fire hose, scrambling desperately to escape the slippery rock walls. That's exactly how another Apache rebel named Massai wiped out an entire calvery squad. By bringing them into a shallow gorge just in time to be swept away by a mountain cloudburst. The Apache chief Vitorio used to lead calvery troops on a cat and mouse chase deep in the canyons, then lie in wait by the only waterhole. Lost, and crazed by heat, they would rather risk a quick bullet to the head than a slow choking from a thirst thickened tongue "...Christopher Mcdougall, Born To Run.

That is terrifyingly brilliant from a tactical perspective.

[@christineparis5607]

@@florenmage I know! Reading that struck me for days! My mom was half native American Indian and French Creole, and my dad was French Irish, so I've always been fascinated by the history of America and Mexico. The early French trappers and mountain men would routinely live and marry into the tribes for the first hundred years or so of outside exploration of the country. It became discouraged when the "aquisition" of land to enrich Europeans meant trying to exterminate any people who wouldn't move off their tribal lands. Obviously, there were still people (like my grandma!), who found Indians had a lot going for them, and got around the prejudice by passing off my mother as her husbands child, not her indian lover, which, in my opinion, was pretty pointless, since my mother from a baby looked so much like a movie cast Indian that without knowing her background, my sister and I nicknamed her "squaw"..(I know it's horrible, but our only info on Indians in the 1960s was tv western depictions...)

Though the Apaches were enemies of the US, they did end up being among the US's best soldiers. Like the Gurkas were a specialized fighting force for the British, the Apache would serve the US as shock troopers in the Spanish American war (1899), helped hunt down rebels in the Filipino revolt (1899-1903), helped the Allies defend France in WWI (1918), and drove the Japanese and Filipino rebels from Manila in WWII (1944).

My uncle was married to Geronimo's great granddaughter. It was uncanny how much she looked like him. Geronimo is one of my heroes, because all my heros killed cowboys.

[@historymatters8991]

Depends on if the cowboys deserved it.

[@giam1703]

My Great Grandmother was his cousin. He was a hero.

[@jacejackson4901]

"You don't take it out of the package, like a savage..." Litterty laughed out loud!!

[@marshas.4222]

Who started the savagery is my question?

[@starlabratcherflannigan1798]

I believe you have that backwards Geronimo was not a Savage presidents in the Army were the Savages

[@indigenousamerican3148]

Apache raids continued well on into the 1930's in northern Mexico.

[@davashman9712]

Simon is so busy with his channels he forgot to change out of his pyjamas.

[@rhadiem]

Some Brit criticising Americans on the mistreatment of indigenous people... that's rich, considering the Americans learned such things from the Brits and all their many colonies. Look in the mirror.

[@garyfranklin8712]

Never has there been a man who was so underestimated

[@wildcolonialman]

Fabulous People, fabulous man, caught up, savage no doubt, in the tides of history and the need to compete. Died a wealthy man, and was known as a clever business man.

[@sketcharmstrong8491]

Awesome I was thinking the other day Geronimo would make a great topic for a video. Just in time before "Black Thursday". You read my mind Simon. Thanks a lot!

[@patrickholub9698]

As a libertarian, I will always hold a lot of respect for him. Taught me not to trust my own government.

[@hughgrection4205]

Well said

[@hoangkimviet8545]

Last but not least, that was Geronimo.

[@trj1442]

Another excellent episode. Thankyou Bio team.

[@deadgoon2170]

My favorite T-shirt from the oughts had a picture of Apache scoouts on it.. the caption..." Original Homeland Security". Oh, Cheer- Ah-Ka- Wah, fact boi...;)

[@pathkeepers]

Saying “you don’t take it out like a savage” during your ad may not have been the best choice for this video.

[@SirBlackReeds]

Geronimo was savage though.

[@averageboi5195]

@@SirBlackReeds i prefer freedom fighter

[@smileyp4535]

After playing Zelda lately all I can think of throughout the video is that Simon has full stamina

[@DemaGraphexTube]

Geronimo - and to think the name was also a phrase before taking a fall...a very long and epic fall at that!

[@hiddenhope7569]

Fantastic as usual 👏

[@kylesmith3047]

I like how you dance around the word savage.

[@jeremyhennessee6604]

Athletic Greens ARE pretty awesome Simon. I was pleasantly surprised.

[@larrymorgan63]

Interesting video. Is there a biographics on the other famous Apache leader Cochise?. Would like to see one made, if there isn't.

[@salismyname4301]

Took me second to realize you said gila river lol, I grew up around there

[@leggonarm9835]

My great grandpa always called me Geronimo cause as I was always jumping off everything. Now I use it as my Apache name.

[@lindahudson6685]

HEE-la River, Cheer_ah-COW-ah. Both are Spanish names and/or spellings. Still, this was a good, informative video.

[@80wolfmanrob]

Anyone who watches Simon knows at 8:25 when he read it the first time he said " Who the hell is General Ackbar? It better not be some shitty Star Wars reference." I love that all his writers are starting to put stuff in the scripts that he doesn't like or makes fun of. They are bringing the inside jokes from B.B. to all his channels so that's basically all of KZbin.

[@sophiev1900]

I really enjoyed learning more about him and would really like to see more videos of other tribe leaders.

[@kavemanthewoodbutcher]

From Arizona. HEE-LA CHEERY-KAH-WAH Silly Brit...

[@Tybell350]

I was stationed at Ft. Sill and got to see the cell he was kept in and visited his grave, it’s a sad but interesting part of history.

[@mr.rodgers3745]

The Apache chief Mangus Coloradis was said to be almost 7 foot tall. I always thought that was a cool fact.

[@harrisonmiller6475]

Can you do one on Louis Riel in the future ?

[@christophm860]

Happy Birthday Geronimo!

[@bobfg3130]

A great man and a tragic hero.

[@SirBlackReeds]

And a ruthless villain at times.

[@SirBlackReeds]

Fun facts: the only man Geronimo feared was Mickey Free, and William Alchesay convinced him to surrender.

[@SKa-tt9nm]

Mickey Free, the guitarist for Shalamar?

[@UncagedSavage]

Fear of anyone never stopped him from being what he is or what he would do..your micky free included

[@Chiefjoseph82]

I wonder if Mangas Coloradas skull is the one that the Skull and Bones Society is rumored to have. Its said that they have Geronimo's but maybe its Mangas's.

[@caseymckenzie8065]

Sea moss and Ka’chava superfood are great alternatives for AG

[@mukialedori]

hey good choice of subject simon and team, cheers
