310       imageCantonment, Okla. Jun 3, 1903 (Oklahoma Territory). Cds with four-ring cancels 2¢ red entire to Brainerd, Kansas, Very Fine.
Estimate; $30 - 40.

Never officially named, "Cantonment" was an army post constructed on the North Canadian River five miles northwest of present Canton, in Blaine County. In September 1878, a band of Northern Cheyenne had fled northward from the Cheyenne and Arapaho Reservation, causing panic among the residents of western Kansas and Nebraska. With orders to police the reservation, Lt. Col. Richard I. Dodge and four companies of the Twenty-third Infantry from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, established Cantonment midway between Forts Reno and Supply in March 1879. Once it was decided the Northern Cheyenne would be removed from Indian Territory, Cantonment was no longer needed, and the military abandoned it in June 1882.

The troop quarters at Cantonment remained primitive, the post comprised a commissary, hospital, and officers' barracks constructed of stone. The Department of the Interior gained control of Cantonment in 1882 and allowed the Mennonites to operate the station as a school for Indian children. The Interior Department maintained a school at Cantonment beginning in 1898 and in 1903 designated the facility a subagency of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency at Darlington. (Image1)

Estimate; $30 - 40.

Fort Crook, Nebraska, is a century-old fort still utilized today as the Offutt Air Base. Although plans were drawn in 1888 to establish Fort Crook at Bellevue, Nebraska, no meaningful construction commenced until 1894. Situated along the Missouri River, the fort was first used as a dispatch point for Indian conflicts on the Great Plains. The fort was named for Major General George Crook, a Civil War veteran and Indian Fighter. The first infantry troops arrived on June 28, 1896. Troops from Fort Crook fought during the Spanish-American War when the 22nd Regiment, under Charles A. Wikoff, was dispatched to Cuba. (Image1) (Image2) (All Images)
