  • Fort Gibson National Cemetery Rostrum Is Located at Latitude 35.805259, Longitude -95.230778 (North American Datum of 1983)
    HISTORIC AMERICAN LANDSCAPES SURVEY FORT GIBSON NATIONAL CEMETERY, ROSTRUM HALS No. OK-3-B Location: 1423 Cemetery Road, Fort Gibson, Muskogee County, Oklahoma The Fort Gibson National Cemetery rostrum is located at latitude 35.805259, longitude -95.230778 (North American Datum of 1983). The coordinate represents the structure’s approximate center. Present owner: National Cemetery Administration, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Construction date: 1939 Builder / Contractor: unknown Description: The rostrum is an octagonal platform about 15' wide x 4' high. It is built of rock-faced local sandstone blocks of varying lengths with 1" margins laid in regular courses. A 6"-thick concrete pad sits atop and overhangs the platform. Eight five-sided cast-concrete posts stand at the corners of this pad. These posts support cast-concrete handrails, two rails running between each post. A flight of seven concrete steps leads onto the rostrum floor on the north side. It is flanked by sandstone cheek walls coped with cast-concrete blocks. Site context: The cemetery was originally a 6.9-acre rectangle laid out around a central flagpole mound. Numerous additions have enlarged the grounds to over 48 acres and given it an irregular L shape. The rostrum, used as a speaker’s stand on ceremonial occasions, is sited in the oldest part of the cemetery, in what is now Section 7, 170' southwest of the entrance gates. Its stairs face generally north, toward the main road that passes the cemetery. History: The national cemetery at Fort Gibson, Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), was established in 1868 on land previously used as a post cemetery.

Although a number of Seminole chiefs, along with representatives of all the other Civilized Tribes, were bullied or cajoled into signing a treaty with the Confederacy, before the war was over it was estimated that two-thirds of the Seminole Indians and practically all their Negroes were within the Union lines.

Fort Gibson is a town in Muskogee County which has expanded into Cherokee County as it grew in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. On October 9, 1832 Washington Irving of Sleepy Hollow slept at Fort Gibson. Irving was to leave in the morning with a small party of rangers an early cavalry without uniforms, army ammunition, or army horses. They would meet up with a larger party of rangers who were two or three days ahead. For the rangers the goal was to meet and parley with the plains Indians. For Irving it was a chance to see the west of his imagination. Irving was the superstar of his time who gave his readers the world of Sleepy Hollow and characters like the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane. He wrote about his trip to Oklahoma in A Tour on the Prairies, a book in print continuously since 1835. The friends who had traveled with him since the Great Lakes wanted to see the grand prairies and hunt buffalo. All four would write their own books about that autumn of 1832.

Anthropology and history contain the most knowledge pertaining to American Indians, derived from their long traditions of scholarship focusing on American Indians. The other social sciences are far behind. Consequently our social science knowledge about American Indian peoples and their concerns is not balanced but biased by the disciplinary perspectives of anthropology and history. The likelihood that American society contains little realistic knowledge about contemporary American Indians in comparison to knowledge about traditional and historical American Indians is perhaps a function of this disciplinary imbalance.

  • Fort Gibson National Cemetery
    FORT GIBSON NATIONAL CEMETERY National Cemetery Soldiers and family members who died at Fort Gibson were buried in one of three small post cemeteries established between 1824 and 1857. Most died from accidents or disease—the fort endured several yellow fever epidemics. When the U.S. Army abandoned Fort Gibson, it left the cemeteries in place. Reoccupation of the garrison during the Civil War meant more interments. In 1868, a new Fort Gibson National Cemetery was established on land formerly part of the larger military reservation. It was laid out in four sections with a central officers’ circle and flagpole. In 1871, there Barracks at Fort Gibson. Fort Gibson: A Brief History, by Grant Foreman.
