Geronimo (EBK)
by Joseph Bruchac
As the Apaches are taken by train from their homes in Arizona to a reservation in Florida, Little Foot, the fictional ten-year-old narrator, describes his trip across the American South, what it's like to be imprisoned in various forts, and how the Apaches split apart in the years following their relocation. Little Foot also tells the story of his grandfather, Geronimo, the leader of the Apaches, from his fight against Mexico to his conflicts with the US Army to his time as a prisoner of war. Each emotionally gripping chapter begins with facts—including real interviews, biographical sketches, and news articles—that make Little Foot's tale more history than fiction. This compelling book puts a sophisticated yet kid-friendly spin on the story of Geronimo, a man who played a significant but underappreciated role in American history.
