GUEST,henryp Any September Songs? (284* d) RE: Any September Songs? 04 Sep 23


4 September On this date in 1886, Geronimo, Apache chief and leader of the last great Native American rebellion, surrendered in Arizona to General Nelson Miles.

GERONIMO’S CADILLAC; Michael Martin Murphey was originally inspired to write this after seeing a photograph of Geronimo sitting in a Cadillac. He told American Songwriter magazine July/August 1987: "The two images together - Geronimo and a Cadillac - just struck me as a song title. It was every irony I could ever think of about our culture in two words. Their attempt to make of him what we would define as a civilized person. That was the reason they put him in a Cadillac in the first place. He was actually in jail at the time."
