The 1933 Document: Skull And Bones Acknowledges The Story

The document prepared by Skull and Bones for its 1933 centennial celebration — the “Continuation of the History of Our Order for the Century Celebration” — is the earliest known documentary reference to the Geronimo legend within the organization itself.

This document is significant because it suggests that the Geronimo story was part of Skull and Bones’ internal history and tradition by 1933 — fifteen years after the alleged theft, at a time when at least some of the people allegedly involved were still alive and might have corrected an inaccurate account.

The content of this document has been described in various secondary sources, but the document itself has not been published in full in any source available in the public record.
