This portrait of the historical
old Apache was made in March, 1905. According to Geronimo’s
calculation he was at that time seventy-six years of age, thus making
the year of his birth 1829. The picture was taken at Carlisle, Pennsylvania,
the day before the inauguration of President Roosevelt, Geronimo
being one of the warriors who took part in the inaugural parade
at Washington. He appreciated the honor of being one of those chosen
for this occasion, and the catching of his features while the old
warrior was in a retrospective mood was most fortunate.
