A fascinating Event if you can make it: On September 17, 1868 a large group of Cheyenne, Arapaho and Lakota warriors attacked 50 United States Army volunteer scouts, under the command of Major George A. Forsyth and Lieutenant Frederick H. Beecher, on the Arickaree River about 18 miles southeast of Wray. The Army scouts were in search of a band of Natives believed to have raided a freight train in Kansas. When attacked, the scouts retreated to a sandbar in the middle of the Arickaree River, and concealed themselves behind the bodies of their horses. Major Forsyth dispatched scouts to walk the 75 miles to Fort Wallace, Kansas for reinforcements; four of those scouts made it to Fort Wallace on the 22nd and 23rd. Carpenter Company H and I "Buffalo Soldiers" under the command of Colonel Henry Bankhead Carpenter arrived at the battle site on the morning of September 25 to the relief of the besieged scouts. Major Forsyth named the sandbar “Beecher’s Island” in honor of Lieutenant Beecher, who died during the attack. Three other Army scouts died during the battle, and two more died later from wounds sustained at the fight; another 20 scouts were wounded. The number of Native American casualties is in dispute, but a noted Cheyenne warrior known as “Roman Nose” almost certainly died at the battle. In 1898, thirty years after the battle, three surviving members of Forsyth’s scout band came back to Beecher Island to locate the battle site, and erected a sandstone marker memorializing the battle. The next year the local chapters of the Grand Army of the Republic organized the Beecher Island Park and Memorial Association (later the Beecher Island Battle Memorial Association). The Association has held September reunions since 1899. All the events and activities being held to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Beecher Island, the Grand Reunion of Forsyth Scouts, and the 119th Beecher Island Battle Memorial Association Reunion taking place across the great states of Kansas and Colorado are contained in this Official Program . Below is a schedule of events and for the most current updates of events follow on Facebook: The Beecher Island Battle Memorial Association or The Grand Reunion of Forsyth Scouts . There is an very interesting article about this battle in the most recent issue of Colorado Life available in most Colorado Bookstores. Also in the same edition is a nice write up on Fort Lupton featured at our 2009 OCTA Convention. ...and while I'm on the Colorado Life Magazine, it might be nice for a volunteer to step up and do a piece for these guys on the Cherokee Trail celebra ting the 150 anniversary of the National Historic and Scenic Trail of the US.

By the late spring of 1850 many leaders in the Cherokee Tribe became alarmed at the large numbers of men and even females leaving for the gold fields. An article written on March 19, 1849(1), in the Cherokee Advocate, describes California as land without law or government. On Monday June 10, 1850, The Cherokee Advocate published an article warning about the gold fever. The paper lamented the loss of tribal members taken from their homes by the lure of fame and fortune. The editor of the Advocate wrote: "In this universal rising his majesty tul-lo-ni-ca [Cherokee for yellow] has driven numerous Cherokees into the chase, and it is to them too gold for riches at once, and through the journey of life repose in golden dreams" (Cherokee Advocate June 10,1850:2). In this statement the editor was revealing Cherokee attitudes towards gold and wealth in general. The Cherokee were seeking their dreams like all other westward bound gold seekers. Their dream was achieving security so they could rest peacefully seeking harmony with their world. So powerful was this dream of gold to the Cherokee that "it is confessedly the strongest tempter that we have any idea of." "The Cherokees," the editor went on to write, to California "have gone male and female to join in this golden scramble, with families behind, in some measure to take care of themselves, on a mission of four to five years, effecting and demolishing our settled pursuits, plunging hundreds into utter ruin, and depopulating our community" (Cherokee Advocate, June 10,1850:2). The editor perceived the migration of Cherokees from the reservation to California as damaging to tribal stability. In his column on the gold rush he called "for the wisest counsels of our leaders in order to check in some measure this mania that is so much distempering our regular occupations." In a plea for reason the editor added, "I assure our friends with the best feelings for their welfare, that this California gold, although, admitted to be as plenty as dirt, will be their ruin, in nine hundred cases of a thousand" (Cherokee Advocate, June 10,1850:2). In spite of the misgivings by some of the Cherokees who remained in the Indian Territories, westward bound gold seekers continued to leave the nation. A record of events on the progress of a party traveling on the Santa Fe Trail, was submitted on a regular basis to the Cherokee Advocate. One such article was actually a letter written to the Advocate by O.W. Lipe. This letter covered almost a full page in the May 27th, 1849, Advocate. Lipe mentioned the problems encountered on the trail, such as which route could be traveled with the greatest ease and success (Cherokee Advocate, May 27,1849:2). Even though the party is able to make good time on the trail they were often detained by the loss of cattle and had to wait for the return of the men who went in search of them. The author of this article also discusses the worry and tension the party experienced due to accidents and the low food supply. In his letter to the Advocate the traveler noted he felt very fortunate that he had not encountered any serious accidents but had a close call with misfortune when he fell from his horse. As the result of the fall he suffered only a sore mouth but at the time of writing this letter he had recuperated within a couple of days as his appetite had returned (Cherokee Advocate, May 27,1849:2). Cooking on the trail is also mentioned in Lipe's letter as the author boasts of his "Baking Biscuits." He also considers the cows to be valuable as they have supplied the train with a "good quantity of milk" and are easy to keep within certain boundaries.

    JOHN WILLIAMS GUNNISON John W. Gunnison was born in Goshen, New Hampshire in 1812; he graduated from West Point in 1837, second in his class of fifty cadets. After he had served one year in the Florida campaign against the Seminole Indians, his health led him to ask for a reassignment to the Corps of Topographical Engineers, where he spent the rest of his military career. But his new appointment did not take him out of the Florida swamps for another year; in 1839 he helped to build a road in Florida until his superiors were forced to send him to Saratoga Springs in order that he could recover his health. He then finished his southern tour of duty in supervising the construction of a canal in Georgia. While there, he married Martha A. Delony on 15 April 1841. For the next eight years, 1841 to 1849, he was engaged in survey work in the Great Lakes region. He helped plot the boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan, the western coast of Lake Michigan, the coasts of Lake Erie, and the marshy areas of northern Ohio. He was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant on 9 May 1846 but did not serve in the Mexican War, continuing with his duties as an engineer in the Great Lakes area. In the spring of 1849 he was assigned as second in command of the Howard Stansbury Expedition to explore and survey the Valley of the Great Salt Lake. During the trip across the plains in the spring and summer of that year, Gunnison was so ill that he was forced to ride in a closed carriage until, at Fort Bridger, he had recovered sufficiently to take charge of the party the rest of the way to the Mormon capital while Stansbury reconnoitered a new road to Salt Lake City.

  • Illegal Fencing on the Colorado Range
    Illegal Fencing on the Colorado Range BY WILLIAM R. WHITE The end of the Civil War witnessed a boom in the cattle business in the western states. Because of the depletion of eastern herds during the war, a demand for cheap Texas beef in­ creased steadily during the late eighteen-sixties and the early eighteen-seventies. This beef also was in demand by those in­ dividuals who planned to take advantage of the free grass on the Great Plains, which had remained untouched prior to the war, except by the buffalo. Each year thousands of Texas cattle were driven north to stock the various ranges claimed by numerous cattlemen or would-be cattlemen. The usual practice of an aspir­ ing cattleman was to register a homestead claim along some stream where the ranch house and outbuildings were con­ structed. His cattle then were grazed chiefly upon the public lands where they "were merely on sufferance and not by right of any grant or permission from the government. " 1 The Homestead, Preemption, Timber Culture, and Desert Land acts had been enacted to enable persons to secure government land easily, but "the amount of acreage allowed was not even remotely enough to meet the needs of the western stockgrowers. " 2 Although the government land laws were not designed for cattlemen, they made extensive use of them. The statutes served the cattlemen, however, only as the cattlemen violated the spirit of the law. 3 During the sixties and the seventies cattlemen tended to respect the range claims of their neighbors and "the custom of priority-the idea of squatter sovereignty met the 1 Clifford P.
