Wife of Indian Leader Geronimo.
In 1885, Geronimo then married a woman traveling with him named Ih-tedda, also known as Kate Cross Eyes, and adopted her eleven-year-old son. As they fled from the soldiers and camped in the Sierra Madre Mountains, Geronimo taught the youngster how to be a warrior. Geronimo and his adopted son defended themselves and their camp from US and Mexican troops hoping to overtake them.
Children of Ih-tedda and Geronimo were:
Marion Lenna Geronimo
Robert Geronimo
With the exception of Alope, all of Geronimo’s wives died in captivity.
Kate Cross Eyes survived the longest. She passed away in July 1950. She had been captured by US soldiers in 1886 and imprisoned at St. Augustine, Florida, and Mount Vernon, Alabama. She was later moved to the Mescalero reservation in New Mexico. She was ninety-four when she died.
