Skull and Bones - Of Geronimo

I read an intriguing story this morning about Yale 's ultra-secret Skull and Bones society - it seems that they stole the skull of American Indian leader Geronimo:

The skull of the worthy Geronimo the Terrible, exhumed from its tomb at Fort Sill by your club... is now safe inside the (Tomb) together with his well worn femurs, bit & saddle horn according to the letter, written by Winter Mead.

In 1986, Ned Anderson, chair of the San Carlos Apache Tribe in Arizona, was campaigning to have Geronimo's remains moved from Fort Sill where he died a prisoner of war in 1909 to Apache land in Arizona. Anderson received an anonymous letter from someone who claimed to be a member of Skull and Bones, alleging that the society had Geronimo's skull. The writer included a photograph of a skull in a display case and a copy of a centennial history of Skull and Bones, written by the literary critic F. O. Matthiessen, a Skull and Bones member. In Matthiessen's account, which quotes a Skull and Bones log book from 1919, the skull had been unearthed by six Bonesmen identified by their Bones nicknames, and mentions the real names of three of the robbers, all of whom were at Fort Sill in early 1918: Ellery James, Henry Neil Mallon, and Prescott Bush, the father and grandfather of the U.S. presidents.

Harlyn Geronimo, the great grandson of Geronimo, said he has been looking for a lawyer to sue the U.S. Army and that the discovery of the letter could help.
