"I am a medicine man," Geronimo said.
Geronimo told the truth. Following the massacre of Kas-Kai-Ya, he had
taken the training which he needed in order to become an Apache medicine
man. This he had done in the hope that he might discover some powerful
medicine which would make sure the defeat of the _rurales_ responsible
for the massacre. But even though he had learned all the rituals that an
Apache medicine man must know, he was far too intelligent to have much
faith in them. But others believed in them.
