  • Enrolled Senate Resolution No
    ENROLLED SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 50 By: Gustafson A Resolution encouraging the educational endeavors of Fort Reno; directing the Department of Transportation to erect informational highway signs for the historic Fort Reno Visitor Center; and directing distribution. WHEREAS, Fort Reno was declared a military reservation in 1875. The principal occupation of the troops at Fort Reno was the protection of the Cheyenne Indians and the Darlington Indian Agency, and overseeing the Run of '89, keeping the Sooners out of Oklahoma Territory; and WHEREAS, Fort Reno was abandoned as a military post on February 24, 1908. Three months later the federal government established the nearly 10,000 acres as a remount depot to purchase and train horses and mules for use by cavalry and artillery units; and WHEREAS, Fort Reno continued to supply pack animals for use in the mountains of Italy and the jungles of Southeast Asia during World War II as well as serving as a home for German prisoners of war; and WHEREAS, the cemetery at Fort Reno contains not only the historic original inhabitants, including several famous Indian scouts and the families of some of the original soldiers, but also a special section reserved for those Italian and German Prisoners of War who died while interred at Fort Reno during World War II. It is not unusual for foreign visitors to seek out the cemetery, looking for the grave of a family member, neighbor or friend; and WHEREAS, Fort Reno was turned over to the United States Department of Agriculture in July 1948. Today its mission is to enhance the conversion of forage into lean red meat and fiber by increasing the quantity and quality of forage produced and the efficiency with which animals convert forage to a usable product; and WHEREAS, Fort Reno becomes a temple of remembrance as historical reenactors present "Tombstone Tales", based on the lives and legends of those buried in the cemetery.
