In one, in the 1860s, Geronimo fled from US troops into a cave and never came out. He was spotted later miles away.
-He also made another escape from the US Army by jumping off of a cliff and into a river. This is why many people jumping off of planes call out this war cry.
-Geronimo also led several raids on many of the Mexican's who were going onto the tribe's land and sometimes even killed them.
-Geronimo led his people while trying to elude the 2 armies (Mexican and US) for over 5 months before he and his people grew tired and weary and surrendered.
