VERY FINE STRIKE OF THIS EXCEEDINGLY RARE FORT WASHITA DATESTAMP--REPORTED TO BE THE ONLY KNOWN CONFEDERATE HANDSTAMP FROM INDIAN TERRITORY.

According to Wikipedia: "The Five Civilized Tribes of the Indian Territory sided with the Confederacy and Federal forces under Colonel William Emory abandoned Fort Washita on April 16, 1861. The fort was quickly seized by Confederate forces from Texas and the Indian Territory. While it saw no action during the Civil War Fort Washita was an important Confederate supply depot. General Albert Pike served as commander of Fort Washita for a short time before establishing Fort McCulloch a few miles to the east. For most of the war Fort Washita was the headquarters of Brigadier General Douglas Cooper. General Stand Watie also served as commander during the Confederate occupation of the fort. Near the end of the war in August of 1865 Confederate forces burned the existing buildings and abandoned the post."
