  3. Geronimo Why do people say Geronimo as they jump out of planes? They are hoping they are invincible and impermeable to injuries – Why would Bill use this allusion? THINK! • Geronimo was the leader of the last American Indian fighting force formally to capitulate to the United States. Because he fought against such daunting odds and held out the longest, he became the most famous Apache of all. To the pioneers and settlers of Arizona and New Mexico, he was a bloody-handed murderer and this image endured until the second half of this century. • Some attributed his numerous raiding successes to powers conferred by supernatural beings, including a reputed invulnerability to bullets.
