28. I remember reading that at one time they sent Geronimo to Florida, keeping him on an island

near Pensacola, I think. He and his group had trouble adjusting to that climate after living in the desert. What a shock that would have been, living on a tiny, tiny island in the Gulf of Mexico.

This is Geronimo's group at a rest stop in Texas as they were being taken to
exile in Florida. Natchez is center right, Geronimo and son in matching shirts
to the right.
