Geronimo spent twenty-five years fighting the Mexican and American armies with a guerrilla force that never numbered more than a few dozen warriors — and held off thousands of troops across two nations. After his surrender, the U.S. government turned him into a spectacle: he was paraded at the 1904 World’s Fair, rode in Theodore Roosevelt’s inaugural parade, and sold autographed photos of himself to tourists while technically remaining a prisoner of war until his death.

This episode traces Geronimo from the massacre of his family that launched his resistance through the decades of guerrilla warfare, his final surrender, and the bizarre captivity that turned an unconquered warrior into a human souvenir.
