AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE 1869 ISSUE INDIAN TERRITORY USE.
The site of Fort Sill was staked out in January 1869 by Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, who led a campaign into Indian
Territory to stop hostile tribes from raiding border settlements in Texas and Kansas. Lawrie Tatum (1822-1900) was a Quaker who was best known as an Indian Agent to the Kiowa and Comanche tribes at Fort Sill agency in Indian Territory. When
President Ulysses S. Grant's "Peace Policy" concerning U.S. policy with Native American tribes went into effect, officials of the Society of Friends (Quakers) met with Grant and requested members of their organization be assigned
as Indian agents. This led to the "Quaker Policy"; replacing corrupt agents in the Indian Bureau with Quakers, which was later expanded to include other religious denominations.
