What did Geronimo become famous for among non-Indians?

  • Painting, Writing, Oratory, Fame as a Warrior

Answer

Geronimo, a renowned Apache leader, gained significant recognition among non-Indigenous people primarily for his prowess as a warrior. His exceptional combat skills and strategic leadership made him a symbol of Native American resistance against Euro-American encroachment during the late 19th century. Although he also dabbled in painting, writing, and public speaking, it is his warrior status that solidifies his place in non-Native history and folklore.
