Geronimo was born on Turkey Creek, a tributary of the Gila River in what is now the state of New Mexico, but which his family considered Apache 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. His Mexican friends gave him the nickname of "Gerónimo". The reasons for this name are not known. Some believe it was a transcription of the Spanish attempt to pronounce the name Goyathlay. Others believe that his Spanish enemies called out to Saint Jerome for assistance while attacking or in the midst of violent defeat.
