Chiricahua Apache (1829–1909) who attained the status of legend for his steadfast defense of Native American lands against the United States government. After decades of aggressive resistance, Geronimo surrendered to General Nelson A. Miles at Skeleton Canyon, Arizona, on September 4, 1886. After years of imprisonment, followed by “military confinement,” Geronimo became a celebrity, appearing at such venues as the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis (where he sold autographs to curiosity seekers) and in Theodore Roosevelt’s 1905 inaugural parade, and dictating his autobiography. Rare bold pencil signature, “Geronimo,” in his distinctive block-printed hand, on an off-white 4 x 2.5 card. Archivally matted and framed, with a photo of Geronimo, to an overall size of 10.75 x 15. In fine condition, with a uniform block of toning over signature. Among the most elusive and desirable of Old West signatures!
