A pair of photographs taken at Mount Vernon Barracks, Alabama, ca 1887-1894, where Geronimo was being held as a prisoner of war. Geronimo is shown in one photograph in striped pants. The other photograph shows In-Tedda, also known as Kate Cross Eyes, alongside two children, one likely her son who was adopted by Geronimo and the other likely Marion Lenna Geronimo, who was born in 1886, dating this photograph to roughly 1889 or 1890 from her appearance. An unidentified older man sits on the left in the photograph. We find no other record of this image, and only one other example of the Geronimo portrait, held in the archives of the University of South Alabama.
Geronimo and roughly 400 of his followers were held at the Mount Vernon Barracks indefinitely without trial before their forced relocation to Fort Sill in 1894.
