Geronimo’s Story of His Life, published in 1906, is the dictated autobiography of the legendary Apache leader Geronimo. Transcribed and edited by S. M. Barrett, the book presents Geronimo’s perspective on his upbringing, spiritual beliefs, battles against Mexican and American forces, and eventual surrender. Despite the editorial framing, the narrative offers a rare first-person Indigenous account of resistance and survival. Geronimo’s voice conveys pride, pain, and a profound sense of cultural identity. The work stands as a vital historical document and a moving testimony of Native American resilience.
