  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1995, 284 pp., 14 figures, reference list, 116 titles. This dissertation describes the various military outposts on the Texas frontier between 1866 and 1886. It is arranged geographically, with each chapter covering a major fort or geographical area and the smaller posts associated with it. Official military records and government reports serve as the primary sources of data. In 1866 when the United States Army returned to the defense of Texas after four years of civil war, the state's frontier lay open to depredations from several Indian tribes and from lawless elements in Mexico. The army responded to those attacks by establishing several lines of major forts to protect the various danger areas of the frontier.

    A HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHICAL ASSESSMENT OF BISON HUNTING ON THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS IN THE 1870s By Jeff Liles Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education Wayland Baptist University Plainview, Texas 1993 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE May, 2008 A HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHICAL ASSESSMENT OF BISON HUNTING ON THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS IN THE 1870s Thesis Approved: Carlos Cordova Thesis Adviser Alyson Greiner James Shaw A. Gordon Emslie Dean of the Graduate College ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The thesis committee, chaired by Carlos Cordova, has been instrumental in arriving at a conclusion and working within the time constraints. Dr. Cordova’s energy and enthusiasm makes him a great advocate, and I look forward to keeping up with his publications through the upcoming years. Dr. Greiner’s rigorous approach has emphasized important details which make this study presentable and coherent. Dr. Shaw’s thorough knowledge of bison literature and creative insight into ecology has facilitated especially the chapter on bison movements. Many other people have generously contributed their energy and talent in helping me complete this project. Mike Larson of Cartography Services at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma, offered practical advice and constructive criticism for the maps. Mike teaches but one class, the best in the department. Jim Bradshaw at the Nita Stewart Haley Memorial Library in Midland, Texas, energetically consulted the primary sources available there. Multiple staff at the Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin patiently assisted me. The Interlibary Services of the Edmon Low Library in Stillwater, Oklahoma, has been instrumental in obtaining maps and texts which would not have been viewed at this time without their efficiency.

  • Before You Visit Fort Davis National Historic Site
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Fort Davis National Historic Site Name: ____________________________________ Before You Visit Fort Davis National Historic Site 1. Who were the pioneers who went west in the 1800s? For what reasons did they go? 2. Who lived in the west before pioneers began arriving? 3. How do you think American Indians felt as pioneers started claiming land? 4. What do you expect to find at a fort like Fort Davis that was active during the Indian Wars in the west (1850s-1890s)? 5. Imagine that there are two people standing on a hill overlooking Fort Davis. One is a pioneer and the other is an Apache. Describe briefly what each of them sees. 6. (a) How many miles is it from where you live to Fort Davis? (b) How long would it have taken you in the 1880s to go from your home to Fort Davis by horseback or in a wagon at the rate of 3 miles per hour? (c) How long would it have taken you in the 1880s to go from your home to Fort Davis by train at 20 miles per hour? (d) How long would it take you today to go from your home to Fort Davis by car at the rate of 55 miles per hour? 7. If you went back in a time machine to the 1870s or 1880s when Fort Davis was an active military post, what do you think would be different about the way people lived then? What would be missing? 8. How would you feel about living back then? National Park Service U.S.

  • Great Western Cattle Trail 1874-1886: John T
    Great Western Cattle Trail 1874-1886: John T. Lytle, founder The Great Western Cattle Trail - also known as the Dodge City Trail and the Old Texas Trail - was utilized from 1874 for the movement of cattle to markets East. The trail began at Bandera, Texas and ended, most often, in Dodge City, Kansas. The entire trail extended from southern Texas to the Canadian border. Between 10 and 12 million cattle were driven north from Texas into Dodge City. The Great Western Cattle Trail When driving between Lone Wolf in Kiowa County and Granite in Greer County, on Highway 9, or west out of Sentinel on Highway 55, even the natives of the area has trouble imagining six million Texas Longhorn cattle with hundreds of trail bosses, chuck wagons, and remudas of 40 to 50 horses ambling through and grazing contentedly in the lush, green grass during the period from 1866 until 1885. In addition to the many enormous drives, cattle herds also traveled in fewer numbers until 1892 when homesteaders located and began fencing Oklahoma Territory. Local lore and history tells about the Great Western Trail traversing this area with it's origin at Bandera, Texas, just to the NW of San Antonio, about 450 miles south of the Red River, and it's destination of Dodge City, Kansas, about 45 miles north of Indian Territory. Some historians called the trail the old Doan Trail, because it crossed the Red River at Doan's crossing. Others called it the Old Dodge City Trail, because it ended at Dodge City. Some even confused it with the Chisholm or Chisum Trail, which actually lay further east near El Reno.

  • Plains Trail Region, This Daydream Landscape Is Reality, Where Cowboy Culture and Ranching Heritage Come to Life
    Land of the Frontier Spirit — owboys, cattle and wide-open spaces –– for many, it’s Texas of the imagination. In the Texas Plains Trail Region, this daydream landscape is reality, where cowboy culture and ranching heritage come to life. This 52-county southern stretch of the Great Plains has always attracted self-reliant folks — Native Americans, Spanish explorers, ranchers, farmers and oilmen — who lived off the land and left their mark behind. Archeological sites reveal 12,000-plus years of human occupation. Paleoindians used projectile points including Folsom and Clovis types to hunt ancient bison and mammoth. Apache tribes were here from the 16th century until after 1700, when Comanches arrived on Spanish mustangs, dominating life on the plains until the late 1800s. Naming the area Llano Estacado, or staked plains, Spanish conquistador Francisco Vásquez de Coronado arrived in 1541 searching for gold and silver. According to legend he marked his route across the treeless plains with stakes. Residents of Northern Mexico, in what is now New Mexico, hauled goods in oxcarts from ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Santa Fe to trade with the Comanches. Freighter Josiah Gregg dubbed the traders Comancheros. By the 1840s, Anglos traveled along the Santa Fe Trail in wagon trains, trading goods hauled between Fort Smith, Arkansas and Santa Fe. LIPSCOMB COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION BACKGROUND PHOTO: WYMAN MEINZER By the 1870s, tensions climaxed between settlers and Native Americans.
