Geronimo: My Life is the autobiography of Geronimo, the legendary Apache warrior who became a symbol of resistance against American expansion in the late 19th century. The book was dictated to S.M. Barrett, a U.S. Army officer who befriended Geronimo during his imprisonment at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

In Geronimo: My Life, Geronimo recounts his early life as a member of the Bedonkohe Apache band, his experiences fighting against the Mexican and American armies, and his eventual surrender and imprisonment.
