What is something Geronimo said during his time period?
Actually, one of the things he said that became most famous was, "Geronimo." The name given to him at birth was Goyathlay. He became known as Geronimo after his escape from US Army troops as he jumped from Medicine Bluff into Cache Creek on the US Army reservation at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. The meaning of the word is unclear and may have been simply an Apache battle or war cry of some type. It is also possible that the troops who witnessed the jump from what is now known as Geronimo's Leap at the peak of the bluff misheard Goyathlay. For those interested Goyathlay's grave is on the Ft. Sill Military Reservation north of Lawton, Oklahoma. The jail where he was incarcerated there is still standing and part of the tour. His cell is open to be viewed with the 3" trough worn in the floor where he paced nonstop for the years he was held there. The hospital where he died is now the barracks for USAFAC HQ personnel.
