The surrender of Geronimo in 1886 did not mark the end of Apache resistance to white encroachment. Over the next four decades, rumors persisted about a band of "wild" Apaches in the Sierra Madre. Who were these reclusive Apaches? In 1930, anthropologist Grenville Goodwin headed south to find out. Accompanying him were guides who had often encountered the Apaches, and as Goodwin searched out abandoned campsites, the Apaches almost certainly were aware of his every move. Grenville Goodwin's journals chronicling his epic search have been edited and annotated by his son Neil, who was born three months before his father's tragic death at the age of thirty-three. Neil Goodwin uses the journals to engage in a dialogue with the father he never knew. Retracing his father's journeys, Neil juxtaposes his own journal entries with the older ones, creating a moment of conversation and common ground between father and son while solving some enduring mysteries. Grenville Goodwin (1907-1940) was a well-known and respected ethnographer of the Apaches. Neil Goodwin, an independent filmmaker and consultant, is the president of Peace River Films. His documentaries on Native subjects include Geronimo and the Apache Resistance and Seasons of a Navajo.
