Years ago Burt Lancaster did a film based somewhat on the real Geronimo
called "Apache". It wasn't quite historically accurate but did
realistically portray the general plight of the Native American in the
process of being conquered. I suspect Geronimo was actually a kind of
juvenile-deliquent-cum-rebel with an arguable amount of justification for
his indefensibly brutal tactics. Blatant savagery isn't noble even if it
seems like the only option.
