Vindication at last

Courtesy of my friend Esha, the AP has the story of the real end of Geronimo:

Geronimo's descendants have sued Skull & Bones, the secret society at Yale University linked to presidents and other powerful figures (including both of the Presidents Bush), claiming that its members stole the remains of the legendary Apache leader decades ago and have kept them ever since.
The federal lawsuit, filed in Washington on the 100th anniversary of Geronimo's death, also names the university and the federal government. Geronimo's great-grandson Harlyn Geronimo said his family believes Skull & Bones members took some of the remains in 1918 from a burial plot in Fort Sill, Oklahoma to keep in its New Haven clubhouse, a crypt. The alleged graverobbing is a long-standing legend that gained some validity in recent years with the discovery of a letter from a club member that described the theft.

Rico says they should be horsewhipped...
