...portable part of the dramatic donnee to be carried through time and space to serve as an instant complication in the plot of countless Western sagas. As a result, few Americans know what happened when and where, for they have Hollywood visions of John Wayne chasing Mescaleros into Canada, Geronimo dying in five states, and Crazy Horse winning the Kentucky Derby...
...wall memorializing the morning he and a friend boated 18 bass totaling 124 Ibs. in "2½ wild and wonderful hours." Down at Bucky's Sports Center, the natives tell of the local version of the Loch Ness monster, a wicked old mossback called "Ol' Geronimo," who "goes 30 Ibs. if he's an ounce." * Next door at the Belair Resort, Proprietor W.C.

...this book so bad? Actually it's not any worse than the war-story thrillers that I used to read in the grammar school library about soldiers fighting Geronimo and the Apaches in the southwest. The American troops-young, obedient and brave, always ex-Union Army troops, fresh from victory over the rebels at home. Riding out in neat cavalry file with shiny boots and new automatic rifles to face the Indians. The Indians-brave. but crafty and cruel. with old single-bolt rifles.
