Arizona Highways Magazine, August 1995 (Geronimo In Captivity) (71) [Paperback] Robert J. Early

For seven decades, Arizona Highways magazine has recorded the state's history, culture, scenery and lifestyle through world-class photography, artwork and articles. The title reflects the publication's early history and its ownership by the state highway department, not the reason that hundreds of thousands of subscribers in every state and many countries look forward to each month's edition. ~ ~ ~ The cover story for this month’s issue is the ever popular subject, Arizona’s best-known native, Geronimo. “After their final surrender, Geronimo and his band of Apache raiders were shipped to Florida, then Alabama, where they lived in fear, and many died of disease,” Sharon S. Magee’s article reports. “They also became objects of curiosity and were put on public display. Geronimo, however, not only adapted to his captivity, but in a sense prospered by it.” ~ ~ ~ Photos include the Chief at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, where he made and sold bows and arrows to eager customers in the “Apache Village”; and in a top hat driving a vintage automobile with a group of friends at an Oklahoma ranch in 1905. ~ ~ ~ Other articles include: Rapture at 10,000 Feet, by Marilyn Taylor, “how I survived my first tandem sky dive.” ~ Sunset Crater, a portfolio by David Lazaroff. ~ Hualapai Mountain, by Tom Kuhn. Camouflaged by forbidding terrain, a little-known county park nestles in a high-rise oasis among the pines, rich in scenery, solitude, and wildlife – and all just minutes from civilization. ~ The White Mountains, by Don Dedera. A favorite summer getaway for fishing and the pines. ~Legends of the Lost, by Jim Boyer. No one knows what happened to the loot the hooded bandit purloined from Tucson stagecoaches in the 1870s.
