This public domain image of the famed Geronimo is a bit different from most you see, here he is an old man, looking worn rather than fierce. Twenty years earlier he was harassing both United States and Mexican armies with his little band of followers. Never considered a chief among his people, he was as ruthless as he was cunning, and a brilliant military strategist. It was only with the help of Apache trackers that the U.S. army was finally able to find and capture him.

This photo was taken at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo New York in 1901 by Charles Dudley Arnold. We profiled Arnold in a post last October from that same Exposition, Temple of Music.
