The photograph was taken at a show for the US press held June 11, 1905, at a ranch located southwest of Ponca City, Oklahoma: Geronimo, then imprisoned at Fort Sill, is actually posed in a Locomobile rather than a Cadillac.

[1] Released July 31, 1972, as a single which edited the track's original 4:39 length to 3:21, "Geronimo's Cadillac" reached number 37 on the Hot 100 in Billboard magazine.

The success of "Wildfire" caused A&M to re-issue "Geronimo's Cadillac" with a new B-side: "Blessing in Disguise" a track from Murphey's 1973 album Cosmic Cowboy Souvenir, replacing "Boy from the Country".

However this re-issue of "Geronimo's Cadillac" did not chart, failing to deflect interest from Epic's follow-up single release to "Wildfire", "Carolina in the Pines", which fell just short of the top 20.

Native American singer Bill Miller performed "Geronimo's Cadillac" for his 1992 live album Reservation Road.
