Geronimo Or Goyahkla (1887)
Also known as Goyakhla, Geronimo was an Apache medicine man and leader. There was a time when a quarter of the whole US standing army pursued him. History called him the “last Native American leader to formally surrender to the US military.” He was a prisoner of war during the last two decades of his life. He was allowed to go to the Wild West shows and world’s fair, even the inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt. Sadly, the POTUS turned down his request about the return of his people to Arizona. About this, the Smithsonian said, ‘Through an interpreter, Roosevelt told Geronimo that the Indian had a ‘bad heart.’ ‘You killed many of my people; you burned villages… and were not good Indians.’ The president would have to wait a while “and see how you and your people act” on their reservation.”

Grigori Rasputin With His Wife And Daughter (1911)
A lot of people find it hard to separate the real man from the myth! Grigori Rasputin was a mystic thought to be the secret power behind the monarchy. There were a couple of assassination attempts on him, but the only one to succeed was a team of conservative conspirators led by Prince Feliks Yusupov. This shows Rasputin with his wife Praskovia Dubrovina and his child Maria in St. Petersburg.
