Welcome to our blog Joe and Gloria, we are excited about speaking to you both! Now that I am done with the first half of the book, I became very interested in cultural differences that exists between different Apache bands. Throughout the book, I really liked Mr. Wratten's character. The bond that he formed between the Apaches and himself was truly incredible. I believe he felt as if he were a part of their band and that Geronimo was able to sense this and therefore trusted him as their translator. I knew absolutely nothing about Geronimo before I read this book. So far I have found out that he had a lot of resentment for Mexicans due to them killing his first wife, kids and mother. I find this odd because the book mentioned how Geronimo came from a peaceful tribe and at one time wanted peace with the Mexicans. If you have any thoughts on this please let me know and thank you again for blogging with us!
