I found this in my Geronimo research file and thought it was funny because Geronimo hated pumpkins! It was almost all he got to eat at Ft. Picken’s Prison in Florida. A visiting reporter from The New York Times visited him there once and wrote about how Geronimo was always cooking pumpkins because he loved them so much! I have the clipping somewhere. Talk about clueless! Geronimo was not pleased!

Then, after the Alabama prison (when he left Ft. Pickens), he ended up at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma and had to eat pumpkins again! The soil was so poor and water was so scarce that pumpkins were about all he could grow.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!
