It was a big little town with people who cared for each other and attended to other peo- ple’s needs. The school was contained in one 3-story building. There were 5 grocery stores, A & P, Sumners Gro- cery, Davis Grocery and Wigington Grocery. Two were on the southwest edge and two next to the old bank building on Main Street. There were three banks at one time too. The First National was the only one that survived the crash of 1929. Many people were hurt financially. Some people even committed suicide. Those were hard days. The town survived them all because people stuck together. The churches, Masonic Lodge and the Eastern Star were the life of most of the people. One movie theater was the love of most people for the Friday and Saturday shows. It was not allowed to open on Sunday for many years, but later did have a matinee on Sunday afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday the “B” movies and the scary ones were shown. Thursday and Friday there were the best first run movies and were in color as soon as Technicolor came in. Saturday there were three showing of the Westerns, the News and a continued serial of Bob Steel or something that would last about 12 episodes. Some of the people would go in the afternoon and Mr. Knox would let them go back at night and see it again without charging again. It was ten cents to get in until you were 13 years old, and then it was fifteen cents. If someone grew faster than other young people, it was customary to bring a parent with them to vouch for their 12 years. Funny isn’t it when you think of the cost of a movie today. Everything centered around the center of town on Sat- urday. Everyone went to town and parked their car down- town early to get a good parking space. The young people walked the sidewalks back and forth. There were two drug stores where you could get a Coke or Dr. Pepper for a dime too. Candy bars were just a nickel for a Baby Ruth or Butterfinger that was bigger than the $0.75 – $1.00 bars today. Also there was penny candy as big as the 4 for a $1.00 now. Things do change. There was a nice 5 & 10 Cent store called Meadows and then later the Forbes, followed by the Alverson Store. The Buie Hardware store had so many stuffed animals up on the top of shelves that a small child would be afraid to go into it. He carried Maytag Washing Machines, Refrigera- tors, and Stoves, along with all kinds of hardware. It is hard to believe that there were so many businesses here. It was mostly farming country and the three Gins were busy when the cotton and corn was being harvested.

This was a modification and reduction of a reservation established by a treaty of Oct. 18, 1865 (Stat. L xiv 717) with the Comanche and Kiowa. In 1868 A. G. Boone, Special Agent to the Kiowas and Comanches, and Pvt. Maj. Gen. W. B. Hazen were sent to Indian Territory to bring together the Kiowas, Comanches, and Apaches who wished to abide by their treaty commitments. Progress was made and the following year Boone’s successor, Laurie Tatum, arrived at agency headquarters near Fort Sill.

To my Mother, JoAnn Batte Jordan, and the memory of my Father, Paul Nelson Jordan ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe a tremendous debt to the people of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, whose generous assistance made this project possible. Since my first trip to southwestern Oklahoma as an undergraduate in 1998, countless Kiowa people have taken the time to share their knowledge with me. I am especially thankful for the many community members who assisted me with my dissertation research. Space prevents me from acknowledging each of them by name, but I would particularly like to thank the members of the Chief Satanta (White Bear) Descendants, the Old Chief Lonewolf Descendants, and Satethieday Khatgomebaugh. Without their help this project would not have been possible. Dr. Daniel C. Swan invested tremendous time and energy in my scholarly development. I am thankful for all that he has taught me, including what it means to be a mentor. Dr. Morris Foster has always been a source of sound advice.

    A DEVELOPING RESISTANCE: FIGHTING ALLOTMENT ON THE KlOWA, COMANCHE, AND APACHE RESERVATION By DAVID SANDERS HOOVER Bachelor of Arts Southeastern Oklahoma State University Durant, Oklahoma 2001 Submitted to the Faculty ofthe Graduate College ofthe Oklahoma State University In partial fulfillment of The requirements for The Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 2003 A DEVELOPING RESISTANCE: FIGHTING ALLOTMENT ON THE KlOWA, COMANCHE, AND APACHE RESERVATION Thesis Approved: Thesis Adviser W\~cLfYf\ ~:........:..=.~~ - __ ~ .~'------ A -------=D:-~thM-aduate College 11 PREFACE The Kiowas, Comanches and Apaches were among the last North American tribes to submit to reservation life. Even after they had formally agreed to settle on a reservation in southwest Oklahoma, several bands ofKiowas and Comanches waged war against the United States Army to protect their nomadic way oflife. The Quahadas, a band oftbe Comanches, roamed northern and eastern Texas until dwindling food supplies forced them to submit to the Indian Agent at Fort Sill in 1875. Historians contend that after barely surviving repeated government attempts at assimilation, these once proud masters ofthe plains became "apathetic wards of the United States." Any process that transforms a people so drastically in a generation is certainly worthy ofstudy. Why was the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache (KCA) reservation the last in Oklahoma to succumb to allotment ifthe Indians did not care about th ir fate? Pressure from land-hungry Buro-American settlers prompted Congress to break several treaties in , order to make available more land, why then, did they not begin with the KCA reservation where the Indians were indifferent.

PEACE AT LAST 132 BIBLIOGRAPHY , l4l ill CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION: RELATIONS BEFORE 1865 The close of the Civil War marked a new era in the developmsnt of the American West. The relentless conquering spirit of the new nation had incited settlement to the Miaalaalppl River, which, after Jumping the Plains, developed along the Pacific coast. A sudden burst of expansionism into the undeveloped area at the end of battle was to be ex­ pected. The broad Great Plains, ruled coo^letely by nature's will, still remained in possession of the Indians. When migration over the old and the newly-developing traila aharply Increaaed and settlers moved onto the Plains, the tribes retaliated with devastating force. A bitter and long- laatlng struggle ensued to determine who would gain undis­ puted possession of the territory. Althoiigh the conflict lasted many years, the Imn^dlate events from I865 to I868 marked the termination of the reign of the powerful tribes' on the laat frontier.

  • “I Heard a Few Days Ago That Lone Wolf, the Kiowa Chief, Carries a Bit Of
    “I heard a few days ago that Lone Wolf, the Kiowa chief, carries a bit of stone that looks like iron ore, and says that when he has that he cannot be killed and that some years ago the Great Spirit above had a tussel with him but that his ’medicine’ was too strong for Him. He was in a tent and it was struck by lightning, killing his wife and child and left him senseless for three or four hours but his ‘medicine’ finally got the upper hand and he got well.” “The Indians, like the whites, had trouble in their married life. Big Bow stole Satanta’s wife. Both of them were leading Kiowa chiefs. After remaining in hiding for about three months, Big Bow decided to go to the Agency, where he arrived about the same time that Satanta did. Page 496 Each of the two chiefs, with a band of followers, had come in for rations. Arriving from different directions, they came in sight of each other as they approached the commissary building. Each was heavily armed, their weapons including bows and arrows, revolvers, carbines and knives. Fully expecting that a tragedy would follow, we employes remained in the enclosure to witness the results. Just as the conflict semed imminent, Horseback, a Comanche chief, rode between the combatants and raised his hand, whereupon the uproar and tumult ceased. After conducting a diplomatic interview between the two chiefs, it was agreed that Big Bow should give Satanta five ponies for his wife, after which the former friendship between the two was restored.” The Agent asked Kicking Bird about the origin of the Indians.

Foremost among them is Dr. Donald J. Berthrong, who with patience, fortitude, and foresight, has directed this dis­ sertation from the beginning. Dr. Gilbert C. Fite has taken time from a busy schedule to give encouragement and construc­ tive criticism. Dr. Arrell M. Gibson has also made useful suggestions. I owe thanks to the other members of the com­ mittee who have read and commented on the paper. A historian would be lost without the aid of archi­ vists amd librarians, and I owe a heavy debt to many who have guided me through the complexities of the records. At the National Archives the personnel of the Indian Records divi­ sion, Dr. Carmelita Ryan, Mr. Roy L. Wilgus, and Mr. L. Evans Walker, were especially helpful. Mrs. Sara D. Jackson, Mr. Milton K. Chamberlain, and Mr. Raymond Ciarrochi aided the search in the ^imiy Records division.
