  • How the Indians Came to Carlisle
    HOW THE INDIANS CAME TO CARLISLE By Louis MORTON* L ATE on the night of October 6, 1879, the townspeople of Car- L lisle, Pennsylvania, began to gather at the railroad junction just east of the town. Impatiently the crowd awaited the arrival of the train. Aboard were no distinguished passengers, only about 100 Indian boys and girls from some of the fiercest tribes in the West. For many of the townsmen, it would be their first sight of real Indians, but it was more than curiosity that had brought theni out so late that brisk fall night. These Indians were no passing side-show. They had come to live at Carlisle, at the old military barracks where a school for Indians was to be formed. The train was bringing in the first class.' From this beginning grew the famed Indian School at Carlisle. For almost forty years the school prospered, attracting wide atten- tion and strong support from friends of the red man, to fall at last a fatality to World War I, when it was converted into an Army hospital.t Its students, numbering in the thousands, took back to their people a better understanding of the white man's civilization; its great athletes swept all opposition before them and left in their wake a string of broken records and a host of anecdotes. To Carlisle the school brought fame and a golden era it still recalls nostalgically. But all this lay in the future that night when the townsmen greeted the bewildered and sleepy Indian children who descended from the train at midnight to begin the long weary march to their new home.
