"Geronimo" # 4 of # 30 - ca. 1874 The sculptor, Jim Bentley, was born in and grew up exploring Utah. He served as a medical corpsman in Viet Nam, and later completed his education in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Stanford University. He spent time as a resident in Honolulu, where he met his wife and where he thereafter maintained a private practice for some years. Much of his relaxation came in working with various groups interested in art expression, and it was here he found himself continually anxious to express himself as a sculptor. After retiring, he returned to Kanab, Utah, where he continues to express with surgeon's hands the lasting history and grandeur of his southwest heritage, as seen in each of his pieces. There are no photographs of Geronimo as a young man, therefore, the sculptor drew upon his extensive knowledge as a reconstructive surgeon to interpret what Geronimo must have looked like from the number of photographs available of this famous Apache as an old man.
