American Indian Chief, buried here in Fort Sill Oklahoma. Were his skull and femur bones really stolen by our 41st and 43rd Presidents father (grandfather) Prescott Bush? Hmmmmmmm, a story that is never let die and that still goes throughout history. It is of course refuted by the Bush families.

and it should be. sound like hogwash.

Geronimoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Don't jump shadow

how interesting that you bring Geronimo name up as there was one yr i was doing a scrying and i kept seeing a indian(old man) as to find out it was him and i looked in the web and i found a pic of Geronimo and the same image i saw in my scrying was him. and i also learned that i had a pastlife during that time with Geronimo and i was as well a indian.

the chief of that band of apache was Cochise not Geronimo. as for Prescott Bush stealing any of his remains?????????????????

Does Michael Jackson still have the Elephant Man bone's? Anything's possible. Some people are just strange!


Kate, what's up with your tongue?

There is a plave that is called "skull and bones" being a vault, that apparently holds 30 to 50 heads of famous people.

Iy has been given some credibility with the release of Yale University Archives that detail the theft, and the dates do line up with the exact time that the members accused were stationed at that location during that time.


Mr. Spivey says Fort Sill records show that Prescott Bush was stationed at the base in 1918. Mr. Bush died in 1972. Fourteen years later, leaders of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, in Arizona, received an anonymous package containing a photo of a skull in a display case, said to have been taken at Skull and Bones headquarters. It also contained what was said to be a society log detailing the night Mr. Bush and his cohorts allegedly dug up the remains. The society has not publicly confirmed or disputed the accuracy of the documents.

Mr. Thompson says he and other San Carlos Apache leaders flew to New York several times in 1986 to talk with Jonathan Bush and other Skull and Bones members about getting the remains back. Mr. Thompson says that, at their last meeting, Skull and Bones representatives brought a skull and offered to let the Apaches have it if they would sign a paper promising not to discuss the matter publicly.

Tribal leaders refused because, among other things, the skull appeared too small to be a grown man's. Even so, Mr. Thompson says, he was shaken emotionally for months afterward. "It was not an old man's skull but it was there in front of me and it was somebody's and they dug it up somewhere," he recalls. "I didn't touch it."

Cochise and Geronimo were members of the Chiricahua band of apache located in south eastern Arizona. down around Sierra Vista and Ft. Huachuca.

Apache Warrior: Sorry.

Born in 1829, Geronimo led a band of renegades who kept up a sporadic fight against both Mexican and American forces in the Southwest after the Apache chiefs gave up. (He bagan this fierce fight, because the Mexican soldiers killed his wife and three kids.) Pursued by more than 5,000 troops, he and his small band finally surrendered in 1886. Geronimo was considered so elusive, brutal and prone to escape that the government sent him and his band across the country -- first to Florida, then to Oklahoma -- but by the time of his death, the once-fearsome warrior had converted to Christianity, appeared at various Wild West shows and marched in Teddy Roosevelt's 1905 inaugural parade. More than 700 mourners attended his funeral at Fort Sill.

my kind of familia!!!

if anybody ever gets to tombstone you can get all the details on him.

His name that he bacame known by,(Geronimo) was given him by way of the Mexican soldiers that he would kill by yelling when they were to die "hail to Saint Jerome", then it stayed with him as Geronimo.

He was truly one of the first Americans to stand up to the Government at the time and told them to shove it even if it meant living the rest of his life in prison.
