Geronimo
built 191 days ago
Geronimo was born near Turkey Creek, a tributary of the Gila River in what is now the state of New Mexico, then part of Mexico, but which his family considered Bedonkohe Apache hell(tori) land. Geronimo himself was a Bedonkohe Apache. He grew up to be a respected medicine man and, later, an accomplished warrior who fought frequently with Mexican troops. Mexican soldiers massacred his first wife and three children during a supposedly peaceful trading session in 1858, and as a result he hated all Mexicans for the rest of his life. Mexicans gave him the nickname of "Gerónimo". The reasons for this name are not known.

The Geronimo is one of Volker's big small favorites from Blue Star. It features a very small hook that returns in the lightest of winds ( with a little twist tune) and has a beautiful flight of 50-60 meters unweighted. The Geronimo is perfect for Australian Round competition or for recreational tossing. Load it up with a bit of weight and expect distances up to 90 meters! The Geronimo is 3mm thick with a Wingspan of 27cm. Please note that colors and patterns may vary.

Throughout his life Geronimo had some eleven children, though less than half of them survived to adulthood. Geronimo lost his first wife Alope, and their three children to a Mexican raid, a large part of what turned Geronimo against Mexicans and led him to kill many of them throughout his lifetime in Arizona. Another wife of Geronimo, Nana-tha-thith and her child were killed in a Mexican attack. Mexicans would either kill Apache women or take them as wives. Apaches did the same to Mexican captives. A Mexican woman or child captive would be taken in and made part of the Apache family.

Geronimo has the potential to become one of the more attractive containers for server-side product development. Its rich feature set, the no-obligation Apache License, and the benefits of a "ready-to-deploy" J2EE 1.4 container are sure to appeal to many developers. Having read this article, you now know what the Geronimo server is about and why it's an important milestone in open source software development. You've explored Geronimo's architecture and become familiar with some key terminology and concepts. Part 2 of this series will lead you through hands-on examples working with the actual server.

Geronimo , c.1829-1909, leader of a Chiricahua group of the Apaches , b. Arizona. As a youth he participated in the forays of Cochise , Victorio , and other Apache leaders. When the Chiricahua Reservation was abolished (1876) and the Apaches removed to the arid San Carlos Agency in New Mexico, Geronimo led a group of followers into Mexico. He was soon captured and returned to the new reservation, where he farmed for a while. In 1881 he escaped again with a group (including a son of Cochise) and led raids in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. He surrendered (1883) to forces under Gen. George Crook and was returned to the reservation.

To North Americans and Mexicans of the 1870s and 1880s, Geronimo personalized the horrors of Apache warfare. Never a chief, and despised by many of his people, he nonetheless attained leadership through mastery of the partisan fighting style that baffled U.S. and Mexican troops. In cunning, stealth, endurance, perseverance, ruthlessness, fortitude, fighting skill, and command of the harsh conditions of his homeland, he excelled. With small followings, he alternated between reservation life in Arizona and raids from Mexico's Sierra Madre. In 1882, Brig. Gen. George Crook, relying heavily on Apache scouts and pack mules, penetrated the Sierra Madre and obtained Geronimo's surrender. In 1885... Geronimo again took refuge in Mexico.
