' as follows : Beaver, O.T., Aug. 30, 1899 Hon. B. F. Hegler Guthrie, 0. T. My Dear Sir: Thinking perhaps you would like to have an impreasion of the Cfmar- ron Territory Seal I enclose the same, hereto attached. Very Truly your friend, Dyke Ballinger This letter with two other old records bearing an impression of the Seal of Cimarron Territory were given by Judge Ballinger to B. F. Hegler, Clerk of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma Territory, all three now in the collections of the Oklahoma Historical Society.' Judge Ballinger soon after writing the above letter brought the original Seal itself to give to Mr. Hegler but lost it on the train enroute to Guthrie, and it was never seen again. The origin of the Seal of Cimarron Territory is a part of the fabulous story of No-Man %-Land. This Panhandle region in Okla- homa far northwest in the state has revealed fossil remains that make the history of the oldest nations on earth young compared to this part of Oklahoma. Here millions of years ago was a vast lake or sea, known to geologists as the Logan Lake, petrified trees of a giant 1 The colors &own in the reproduction of the Sd of Cimarron Temtory on the outside ftont cover of this number of The ChronicCcs were cbosen arbitrarily in the Editorial Office. a The three papers mentioned hem, all bearing an imprcse of the Seal of Cimuron Temtory are: (1) Certificate of Election, dated November 17, 1897, by Wm.

This area is approximately 167 miles long, east to west, and 34% miles wide, north to south. It is bounded on the east by the 100th Meridian in Oklahoma. Colorado and Kansas are on the north; New Mexico is on the west, and Texas, on the south. This Panhandle is the region of high altitude in Oklahoma, the highest point in the state being the Black Mesa (4,978 feet) in the extreme northwestern corner where a monument was erected and dedicated on July 4, 1928. The Beaver River (originally Rw Nutrk) runs from west to east nearly the whole length of the area whence the name Beaver County given when it was attached to Oklahoma Territory on May 2, 1890. Since 1850, this strip of country had not been a part of any territory or state, Texas having relinquished all claims to land north of Parallel 36" 30', North Latitude, to the Federal Government. The claims made by many countries to No- Man's-Land, at different times, as well as the story of the Old Santa Fe Trail, are told elsewhere in this issue of The Chronicles. The Ute Indians from the Rocky Mountains came down to this wild country hunting buffalo, and the Kiowa and the Comanche roamed here when the fringe of the western frontier began spreading over this land during the period of the Civil War. The Baca brothers from New Mexico herded thousands of sheep on the range and fought off outlaws who hid out in "Robbers' Roost" in the mountainous region near the Cimarron River. Kit Carson established Fort Nichols in 1865, on the Santa Fe Trail about four miles east of the western boundary to furnish a guard for traffic and travel along the Trail through No-Man's-Land. After the Civil War, former soldiers in the Confederate Army from Texas took up the range cattle business, and before long there were many ranch headquarters and herds of stock grazing on the rich grasses far and wide over the country. Among these ranches were the original 101 Ranch near present Kenton, besides the S-Half Circle, the Anchor D and the CCC ranches. Soon after the Santa Fe Railroad built its tracks to Dodge City, Kansas, mule-drawn freighters' wagons loaded with supplies beat out a road called the "Jones and Plummer Trail " southwest to T~SCOSO,a "cow town" on the south side of the Canadian River in the cattle country of the Texas Panhandle. Half way between Dodge City and Tascoso, there was a well known camp ground on thk Trail, at the south side of Beaver River where there was plenty of water and rich grass. In 1880, Jim Lane, a freighter on the Jones and Plummer Trail, brought a load of merchandise with his family, and settled in the valley at the crossing on the Beaver. He erected a commodious sod house for that time, and opened a store in one of the rooms, which together with a big corral with high sod walls and a 4 Chronicles of Oklahoma long, sod shed for protection of stock in blizzards and storms fur- nished accomodations for travelers. Lane's place on the Beaver in No-Man's-Land became well known among freighters, up and down the Trail. Great interest was aroused in the possibility of free land for homestead settlement in this part of the West through the activities of Captain David L. Payne who was leading the "boomers" south out of Kansas to the Unassigned Lands in Central Indian Territory, beginning in 1880. About this time, the Cherokee Nation started taxing the cattlemen in No-Man's-Land for grazing privileges, claiming the country was not a free range but was a part of the Cherokee Outlet subject to the cattle tax in the Cherokee Nation. Then, followed a ruling in 1882, secured from the Secretary of the Interior that the region was not a part of the Cherokee Outlet but was Public Land. Star mail routes were crossing No-Man's-r~and, one north to south-Dodge City to Tascoso-, the other east to west- Camp Supply, Indian Territory to Springer, New Mexico. A post office, called "Beaver City," was established on April 1883, in a sod house near Lane's place, with Peter T. Reep as po~trnaster.~ Reep also had a small stock of goods for sale to freighters, but soon sold out his supplies and postmastership to Lane. Three years later Beaver City and its surrounding region was receiving notice in the newspapers of the Nation. Commissioner of the U. S. Land Office, A. J. Sparks, issued a statement on October 13, 1885, that the lands in No-Man's-Land known as the "Public Domain," sometimes referred to as the "Neutral Strip," mere sub- ject to squatters' rights. In February, 1886, Representative James N. Burnes of Missouri, introduced a bill in Congress to establish and organize this region as "the Territory of Cimarron, secure the public lands therein to actual settlers, removed ~~nlawfulinclosures, and for other purposes.'' This bill was never enacted into lam but the possibilities of the measure before Congress were exciting. Out of Wichita, the "boomingest of all boom towns" in Kansas, came E. R. Reiman, who had served as a surveyor with Payne's "boomers," and Will Waddle, who with others had organized the Beaver City Townsite Company, announcing that the "Neutral Strip" was subject to Homestead entry. They arrived at Beaver City out of Wichita on March 6, 1886, and proceeded to lap out a townsite, per- suading Jim Lane to give up his good 160-acre claim for a reserve of two blocks in the town. This mas marked "Lane's Reserve" on the survey plat. Business enterprises came to the new town, and some frame buildings and more sod houses were erected along the streets of the platted survey. There were Thomas Braidwood's hardware store, Hunter's boot and saddle shop, several stores, a drug store, lumber yards, saloon, grocery, and pride of the town, 3George H.

Numbers li^sS I am boundfor the promised land, I am boundfor the promised land; 0 who will come and go with me? 1 am bound for the promised land. Samuel Stennett, old gospel song Our lot is cast in a goodly land and there is no land fairer than the Land of the Pair God. Milton W, Reynolds, early Oklahoma pioneer ill PREFACE In December, 1892, the editor of the Oklahoma School Herald urged fellow Oklahomans to keep accurate records for the benefit of posterity* "There is a time coming, if the facts can be preserved," he noted, "when the pen of genius and eloquence will take hold of the various incidents con­ nected with the settlement of what will then be the magnifi» cent state of Oklahoma and weave them into a story that will verify the proverb that truth is more wonderful than fic­ tion." While making no claim to genius or eloquence, I have attempted to fulfill the editor's dream by treating the Anglo-American settlement of Oklahoma Territory from 1889 to statehood in 1907» with emphasis upon social and cultural developments* It has been my purpose not only to describe everyday life but to show the role of churches, schools, and newspapers, as well as the rise of the medical and legal professions* My treatment of these salient aspects does not profess to tell the complete story of life in Oklahoma.

  • The Osage Nation, the Midnight Rider, and the EPA
    CLEAN MY LAND: AMERICAN INDIANS, TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY, AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY by RAYMOND ANTHONY NOLAN B.A., University of Redlands, 1998 M.A., St. Mary’s College of California, 2001 M.A., Fort Hays State University, 2007 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Abstract This dissertation is a case study of the Isleta Pueblos of central New Mexico, the Quapaw tribe of northeast Oklahoma, and the Osage Nation of northcentral Oklahoma, and their relationship with the federal government, and specifically the Environmental Protection Agency. As one of the youngest federal agencies, operating during the Self-Determination Era, it seems the EPA would be open to new approaches in federal Indian policy. In reality, the EPA has not reacted much differently than any other historical agency of the federal government. The EPA has rarely recognized the ability of Indians to take care of their own environmental problems. The EPA’s unwillingness to recognize tribal sovereignty was no where clearer than in 2005, when Republican Senator James Inhof of Oklahoma added a rider to his transportation bill that made it illegal in Oklahoma for tribes to gain primary control over their environmental protection programs without first negotiating with, and gaining permission of, the state government of Oklahoma. The rider was an erosion of the federal trust relationship with American Indian tribes (as tribes do not need to heed state laws over federal laws) and an attack on native ability to judge tribal affairs.
