Geronimo was captured on September 4, 1886, near the town of Skeleton Canyon in Arizona. After a long pursuit by U.S. troops, he and his small band of followers surrendered to General Nelson A. Miles. This marked the end of Geronimo's resistance against the U.S. government and his fight for Apache sovereignty. Following his capture, he was held as a prisoner of war for nearly 25 years.
