Geronimo

Geronimo (b 1829) was a chief of the Apache tribe. He resisted both Mexican and, later, American encroachments into the traditional Apache homelands. When the Second Mexican War began in response to the Confederate States' acquisition of Chihuahua and Sonora, Geronimo led a band of his warriors into an alliance with the CS Trans-Mississippi Department under Jeb Stuart.

Immediately after the war, Geronimo led a rebellion against the Confederate forces, during which one of his men killed Stuart.
