"geronimo" Definition
- (c. 1829-1909) an Apache who led his people in Arizona against the US Army and the white people who settled there. After fighting for ten years (1876-86), Geronimo surrendered and finally settled in Oklahoma as a farmer. In the Second World War US military paratroopers used to shout his name as they jumped from their planes, to give themselves courage. Today, people often do this when jumping from a high place or doing something dangerous. “Once I moved about like wind. Now I surrender to you and that is all.”Geronimo
