Download or read book Fort Reno and the Indian Territory Frontier written by Stan Hoig and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Indian uprising known as the Red River War, Fort Reno (in what would become western Oklahoma) was established in 1875 by the United States government. Its original assignment was to serve as an outpost to exercise control over the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians. But Fort Reno also served as an embryonic frontier settlement around which the first trappings of Anglo-American society developed a regulatory force between the Indian tribes and the white man, and the primary arm of government responsible for restraining land-hungry whites from invading country promised to Native American tribes by treaty. With the formation of the new Territory of Oklahoma and introduction of civil law, Fort Reno was forced to assume another purpose: it became a cavalry remount center. But when the mechanization of the military brought an end to the horse cavalry, the demise of Fort Reno was imminent. When Ben Clark, the prideful scout who knew and loved Fort Reno, ended his own life in 1914, the military post that had once thrived on America’s frontier was brought to a poignant end. The story of Fort Reno, as detailed here by Stan Hoig, touches on several of the most important topics of nineteenth-century Western history: the great cattle drives, Indian pacification and the Plains Wars, railroads, white settlement, and the Oklahoma land rushes. Hoig deals not only with Fort Reno, but also with Darlington agency, the Chisolm Trail, and the trading activities in Indian Territory from 1874 to approximately 1900. The author includes maps, photographs, and illustrations to enhance the narrative and guide the reader, like a scout, through a time of treacherous but fascinating events in the Old West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jennings Winningly Combines Humor, History, and Romance Louisa Bell never wanted to be a dance-hall singer, but dire circumstances force her hand. With a little help from her brother in the cavalry, she's able to make ends meet, but lately he's run afoul of his commanding officer, so she undertakes a visit to straighten him out. Major Daniel Adams has his hands full at Fort Reno. He can barely control his rowdy troops, much less his two adolescent daughters. If Daniel doesn't find someone respectable to guide his children, his mother-in-law insists she'll take them. When Louisa arrives with some reading materials, she's mistaken for the governess who never appeared. Major Adams is skeptical. She bears little resemblance to his idea of a governess--they're not supposed to be so blamed pretty--but he's left without recourse. His mother-in-law must be satisfied, which leaves him turning a blind eye to his unconventional governess's methods. Louisa's never faced so important a performance. Can she keep her act together long enough?

The Sixth Cavalry has been posted at the new fort to keep watch over the recent hostile Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes who have been sent to the Agency from their homelands to the far north. Two ranching families hearing of the vast grasslands that the tribes are willing to lease and the market for their horses and mules as remounts and pack animals for the Cavalry decide to move their great herds to this new territory. Both owners are honest ranchers, but both have young sons raised on the bloody killing grounds of Texas and Kansas. Clay Kincaid and Munday Guthrie have been raised proud and strong, both are good with the weapons they carry and neither will back down from a fight. And both have eyes for the beautiful Lana Barber the sister of the Baptist Minister sent to help civilize the tribes.
