   Have read quit a bit about him. The show hit some of the highlights of   
   his life but left out some that would have explained   
   his contempt for the white people.   
   The Apache nation as well as the other   
   Native American nations realized that the white people they were dealing   
   with did not speak the truth.   
   Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, Roman Nose,   
   Sitting Bull, Gall & all the others were respected by there people. To a   
   point Geronimo was also. I feel the show was slanted to show him in a   
   bad light.   
   We ( white people) lied to all the indian tribes, made promises we never   
   planed to keep and betrayed our word to them.
