Excerpt from His Life, Chapter XIII: The Coming of the White Man Geronimo
About the time of the massacre of "Kaskiyeh (1858) we heard that some white men were measuring land to the south of us. In
company with a number of other warriors I went to visit them. We could not understand them very well, for we had no
interpreter, but we made a treaty with them by shaking hands and promising to be brothers. Then we made our camp near their
camp, and they came to trade with us. We gave them buckskin, blankets, and ponies in exchange for shirts and provisions. We
also brought them game, for which they gave us some money. We did not know the value of this money, but we kept it and later
learned from the Navajo Indians that it was very valuable.
Every day they measured land with curious instruments and put down marks which we could not understand. They were good
men, and we were sorry when they had gone on into the west. They were not soldiers. These were the first white men I ever saw.
About ten years later some more white men came. These were all warriors. They made their camp on the Gila River south of Hot
Springs. At first they were friendly and we did not dislike them, but they were not as good as those who came first.
What is indicated or foreshadowed by the events recorded in the first two paragraphs of the passage?
A
A massive war is brewing
B)
A peace treaty will soon be signed
The white men will not likely retum
D
The Indians will soon be dispossessed of their land

cause he has given me permission to tell  

my story ; because he has read that story and  

knows I try to speak the truth; because I  

believe that he is fair-minded and will cause  

my people to receive justice in the future;  

and because he is chief of a great people, I  

dedicate this story of my life to Theodore

PREFACE  

The initial idea of the compilation of  

this work was to give the reading public  

an authentic record of the private life of the  

Apache Indians, and to extend to Geronimo  

as a prisoner of war the courtesy due any-  

captive, L e., the right to state the causes  

which impelled him in his opposition to our  

civilization and laws.  

If the Indians' cause has been properly  

presented, the captives' defense clearly  

stated, and the general store of informa-  

tion regarding vanishing types increased, I  

shall be satisfied.  

I desire to acknowledge valuable sug-  

gestions from Maj. Charles Taylor, Fort  

Sill, Oklahoma; Dr. J. M. Greenwood,  

Kansas City, Missouri, and President David  

R. Boyd, of the University of Oklahoma.

the illustration   that would give a reader a clear understanding of the text is a picture of men constructing the frame of a building.the frame is made of iron bars. the text describes the job of blacksmiths'. these were very organised and they had different names: "the driver" and "the heater". the text describes the way in which these men worked ; they worked iron pieces as if they were playing a sport. in fact, the text wants to show the men's skills. the text also puts some emphasis on the use of '' rivets'' in construction. this kind of nails were not always used in the construction of manhattan.

"and with an underhand toss he hurled the smoking rivet straight at the catcher, who caught it in mid-air in his catching can." men's skills
