  • 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.

  • University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily d vendant upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4 . The m ajority o f users indicate th at the textual content is o f greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
