Inhaltsangabe
John Dillinger and Geronimo is a work of fiction. Historical Fiction. It is based on the people I knew in my young years in Tucson in the early 1950s—in the neighborhood that I have described. The kids are similar to those crazy, wonderful characters, but are fictional. Yes, we had kite fights and we buried treasure in the desert that is now covered with a shopping center and houses. I knew Ciye “Niño,” Cochise in the early ‘60s when he was in his 90s. He was a mechanic and all-around station hand in a gas station owned by the husband to a second cousin—aka Uncle Mike. I occasionally worked there fixing flats and doing lube jobs while a student at the University of Arizona. Niño and I talked about the old days of the Wild West. I badgered him to tell me stories of Mickey Free, Al Sieber, Geronimo, Tom Jeffords, the Apache Kid, and others. I have reconstructed those stories in the 1st Person as told by “Tom Sullivan.” Niño is said to have lived to be 110 and his stories were recounted in the book, The First Hundred Years of Nino Cochise, “as told to A. Kinny Griffith.” I have referred to my ragged copy, autographed by Niño, to fill in background history and geographical information.There was a real ‘Old Tom’ from Boston in the neighborhood—a barber. He told yarns of coming to Tucson as a boy and working in the nearby forts, shining boots, and saddles for the cavalry. We half-believed him.
