Book Battles of the Red River War

Download or read book Battles of the Red River War written by J. Brett Cruse and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Battles of the Red River War unearths a long-buried record of the collision of two cultures. In 1874, U.S. forces led by Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie carried out a surprise attack on several Cheyenne, Comanche, and Kiowa bands that had taken refuge in the Palo Duro Canyon of the Texas panhandle and destroyed their winter stores and horses. After this devastating loss, many of these Indians returned to their reservations and effectively brought to a close what has come to be known as the Red River War, a campaign carried out by the U.S. Army during 1874 as a result of Indian attacks on white settlers in the region. After this operation, the Southern Plains Indians would never again pose a coherent threat to whites’ expansion and settlement across their ancestral homelands. Until now, the few historians who have undertaken to tell the story of the Red River War have had to rely on the official records of the battles and a handful of extant accounts, letters, and journals of the U.S. Army participants. Starting in 1998, J. Brett Cruse, under the auspices of the Texas Historical Commission, conducted archeological investigations at six battle sites. In the artifacts they unearthed, Cruse and his teams found clues that would both correct and complete the written records and aid understanding of the Indian perspectives on this clash of cultures. Including a chapter on historiography and archival research by Martha Doty Freeman and an analysis of cartridges and bullets by Douglas D. Scott, this rigorously researched and lavishly illustrated work will commend itself to archeologists, military historians and scientists, and students and scholars of the Westward Expansion.

Book An Archeological Survey in the Gypsum Breaks on the Elm Fork of the Red River

Download or read book An Archeological Survey in the Gypsum Breaks on the Elm Fork of the Red River written by John D. Northcutt and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a cultural resources survey on the drainage of the Elm Fork of the Red River covering 1,705 acres in Greer and Harmon counties, Oklahoma. Thirty-two new prehistoric and historic sites were found during this work and four sites already recorded were resurveyed. Five of these thirty-six sites were given a minimal test with seven one-meter square test pits. Site locations, site functions, age, artifacts, and cultural inferences are described and discussed based on the materials recovered. Most sites were small and lie on badly eroded Permian and Quaternary badlands topography, and are not considered significant enough archeologically or historically to warrant further action. Specific recommendations are made on the few sites considered valuable in solving problems of archeological research in southwestern Oklahoma. (Author).

Book Test Excavations at 3LA128 An Early Caddo Occupation on the Red River

Download or read book Test Excavations at 3LA128 An Early Caddo Occupation on the Red River written by Neal L. Trubowitz and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arkansas Archeological Survey tested site 3LA128 under Purchase Order DACW29-81-M-0165 on the Field Revetment for the New Orleans District Office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to gather data for determination of the site's eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. The testing identified two twentieth century occupations, a Caddo I-II component (the primary occupation), and a small Caddo IV-V component. In the opinion of the Survey, the site is eligible for the register, but no further archeological research is needed in connection with the Field Revetment project as construction was completed prior to the site testing. The remaining site area is no longer threatened by construction-related activities, and the revetment will safeguard it from Red River meander erosion. Site 3LA128 will be available for future archeological research on the early Caddoan occupation of the Great Bend region in Arkansas so long as the revetment exists. (Author).

Book The Archaeology of the Caddo

Download or read book The Archaeology of the Caddo written by Timothy K. Perttula and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark volume provides the most comprehensive overview to date of the prehistory and archaeology of the Caddo peoples. The Caddos lived in the Southeastern Woodlands for more than 900 years beginning around AD 800?900, before being forced to relocate to Oklahoma in 1859. They left behind a spectacular archaeological record, including the famous Spiro Mound site in Oklahoma as well as many other mound centers, plazas, farmsteads, villages, and cemeteries. The Archaeology of the Caddo examines new advances in studying the history of the Caddo peoples, including ceramic analysis, reconstructions of settlement and regional histories of different Caddo communities, Geographic Information Systems and geophysical landscape studies at several spatial scales, the cosmological significance of mound and structure placements, and better ways to understand mortuary practices. Findings from major sites and drainages such as the Crenshaw site, mounds in the Arkansas River basin, Spiro Mound, the Oak Hill Village site, the George C. Davis site, the Willow Chute Bayou Locality, the Hughes site, Big Cypress Creek basin, and the McClelland and Joe Clark sites are also summarized and interpreted. This volume reintroduces the Caddos? heritage, creativity, and political and religious complexity.
