I am the father of 6 boys and always looking for good books for them. My recommended age break for this would be 13 yo and up due to the quantity of killings (easily 10,000+) and the grim details included. Every few pages you're informed of hundreds dead and how/why in decorative detail. It is not a "happy" book. If you thought you liked Geronimo before, you won't after this book, which is odd because I expected to get a Geronimo pep-talk. I like the writer, and how he writes, but my boys won't be reading this till they are older. There ARE lessons to be gained from the book for older boys. 1. Talk to your sons afterwards about how much Geronimo's attitude harmed his dreams and hurt his people. Encourage them to consider that as they live their own lives and plan to try to take care of a family. 2. Consider the Indians goal of not being slaves to the white man, what it caused them to do, and the results - were the Indians successful considering their original goal? In 20/20 hindsight, was there better path that would've actually accomplished those goals? Would assimilating into the property ownership system of the new world and claiming homesteads have lead to a better end? Which leads to a conversation of when you should and shouldn't assimilate. And another about how to know if something is worth fighting for to the end. That last one is a good conversation.

Written in the 50s, this is no PC biography.

It presents Geronimo, warts and all, and is why children should be exposed to it. It tells them about Apache upbringing and culture and honestly describes his life.

My 10 yr old son loved this book. As a family we have enjoyed many of Ralph Moody books but I hadn't known of this one until recently. My son kept peeking up from his book to tell me something fascinating he was learning.
