This 1905 photo shows Geronimo riding in a Locomobile Model C vehicle on 101 Ranch in Oklahoma. The Apache leader is of course known for preventing American and Mexican soldiers from attempting to force his tribespeople from their homes. Unfortunately, on September 4, 1886, Geronimo made one final stand but failed to keep the United States army from pushing him off tribal territory. He was then apprehended and held as a POW for 20 years, but was still allowed to go out on occasion.
