Who deserves the real credit for convincing Geronimo and his band of renegades to finally surrender once and for all?

In 1926, Anton Mazzanovich (1860-1934) would write an authoritative narrative off the events that unfolded during his efforts to contain and capture Gernomio and his band of renegades. It is this book that has been republished here for the convenience of the interested reader.

Regarding who should be given credit for inducing Geronimo to surrender, the author notes that "Lieutenant Gatewood, to my knowledge, was never given the credit for the part he so courageously played in inducing Geronimo to meet General Miles at Skeleton Canyon. I also know that Lieutenant Gatewood made no complaint whenever he was ordered out on a duty by his superior officers, but immediately threw himself into the work, and hung doggedly on until that duty was satisfactorily performed. The failure to give Lieutenant Gatewood credit for inducing Geronimo to surrender, was due to two reasons: the jealousy that existed between the Fourth and Sixth Cavalry, and the jealousy of Miles against Crook."

As noted in the book, "From Texas to Montana and from the Mississippi valley to the Pacific, there are countless prosperous communities and millions of people who enjoy all the good things of life, and whose opportunity to create a home and a living for themselves was made possible by the veterans who made the country safe for settlers."

About the author:

Anton Mazzanovich (1860-1934) was a Dalmatian-American soldier and author of real stories of the Wild West. Mazzanovich's work is from a perspective of a participant, an eyewitness and a connoisseur of the Wild West having personal knowledge of the individuals he personally met and wrote about. He joined the famed U.S. 6th Cavalry and was posted at Fort Lowell in Tucson in 1881. He was a participant in the Apache Wars. His career in the military enriched him with so many experiences that he later wrote about them in books. He also had a stint as an actor in very early Hollywood silent films in 1918.
