Many years but nobody knows exactly how long The first official mention of Goyathlay's involvement in any form of military action was in retaliation for a Mexican army attack on his village (March 6th, 1851). During this retaliation attack Goyathlay abandoned the use of a gun and used a knife instead, the men he killed cried out to Saint Jerome "Jeronimo" and thus he was named Geronimo. He officially surrendered on September 4th 1886 at Skeleton Canyon Arizona. Using these dates the time of his official battles / war, was 35 years.
