In these journals, Colonel Richard Irving Dodge, a well-known
chronicler of western history and an authority on Plains Indians,
provides an important account of conditions in Indian Territory
from 1878 to 1880, a period of rapid transition.
The Cheyenne-Arapaho reservation in present-day western Oklahoma
was the center of Dodge's activity. His writings offer a firsthand
record of the 1878 retreat of the Northern Cheyenne, the conditions
endured by Indians who remained on the reservation, and the
jurisdictional conflicts between Army personnel and representatives
of the Office of Indian Affairs.
These journals also provide insight into Dodge's character, with
reports of his official duties as a military man and of several
landmark events in his family life. Extensive commentaries and
notes by Wayne R. Kime provide further detail, including a history
of Cantonment North Fork Canadian River, a six-company post Dodge
established and commanded in the region.
