The Truth About Geronimo, by Britton Davis, Yale University Press, New Haven, Connecticut, 1929, hardcover, octavo format, 253 pages
In 1929, decades after he had led U.S. troops and Apache scouts to find Geronimo and his small band of Chiricahua renegades and talk them into surrendering, former Lt. Britton Davis published The Truth About Geronimo.
He tells us, in this fascinating first-person account, that in the intervening years, there had been so many lies told about the U.S. – Apache conflicts and particularly who should be given credit for “capturing” Geronimo, that he, Davis, just wanted to set the record set straight by someone who had actually participated directly.
This book was republished 1951 by Lakeside Press/R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., Chicago IL and as a paperback version by the University of Nebraska Press/Bison Books, Lincoln NE
