Can't you just hear the lawyers asking questions?

Did George W. Bush, or George H.W. Bush know about Geronimo?
And when did they know it?

Skull and Bones, a secret society at Yale University, which published annual membership rosters, that were kept at Yale’s library.

Hey, secrets are very hard to keep, all that public publication, national recognition, movies, conspiracy theories.. it is a though job to remain secret. Keeping secrets just isn’t the same any more, it is very, un-secret.

[1] Geronimo wasn’t a Chief. That would be either Tazai or Nache, Cochise’s sons. He was a war leader and a bit of a holy man.

[2] There was a Fraternity in Ohio [Cincinnati(?)] that had [until recently] the skull of William Clarke Quantrill.

[3] The skull of Mangas Coloradus, Chief of the Mimbreno Apaches was [and still may be] in the Smithsonian.

Hey! I purchased Geronimo’s skull at a flea market in Flagstaff in the 70’s! I think it’s still in my garage, unless She Who Must Be Obeyed threw it in the garbage.

Oh, they know .. they know .. but they can't say anything about it, otherwise they'd have to kill whoever heard it ....

That’s OK, I got his skull in Needles, Ca, back in ‘69. It’s smaller than I thought it should be, but it was explained that it was Geronimo’s when he was a child...

In 1918, certain remains of Geronimo were stolen in a grave robbery. Three members of the Yale secret society of Skull and Bones served as Army volunteers at Fort Sill during World War I; one of those three members was Prescott Bush, father of the forty-first President of the United States George H. W. Bush and grandfather of George W. Bush. They reportedly stole Geronimo's skull, some bones, and other items, including Geronimo's prized silver bridle, from the Apache Indian Prisoner of War Cemetery. The stolen items were alleged to have been taken to the society's tomb-like headquarters on the Yale University campus, and are supposedly used in rituals practiced by the group, one of which is said to be kissing the skull of Geronimo as an initiation.

They dug up his skull?

Is this the source of the term skulduggery?
