Geronimo

Just got done reading this book on Geronimo by Robert Utley. It's a pretty decent read and gives a good overview of the Geronimo, his world, and the various campaigns that the Army conducted against the Apache.

Geronimo is an interesting character; people either loved or hated him. Also, while he conducted his operations against the Army masterfully, there were times where he was slack to the point of not even bothering to post guards and on several occassions his camp was surprised. Only quick action saved him.

If you're looking for a good overview, this is a good place to start. The only problem is keeping track of Geronimo's movements- the maps help but they could be better.

I'll comment more soon.



A friend of mine was doing a film on reenactors and wanted some footage on the First World War and cavalry so Max and I helped out. Basically I portray a trooper of Troop H, 2nd US Cavalry on the Western Front mid-1918. Here are some pictures from that shoot:

 

 



A picture from a recent event. Max and I are doing fine!
