Howell, Edgar M.
Stieffel, Hermann, 1826-1886; West (U.S.) -- Pictorial works
[Footnote 29: Jack Howland, artist for _Harper's Weekly_, also pictured
Satanta speaking to the commissioners, and with more accuracy in that
all the civilian commissioners are visible, but his pictures lack the
color and drama of Stieffel's work. See: _Harper's Weekly_, November 16,
1867.]
[Footnote 30: The records of this treaty meeting are contained in the
Office of Indian Affairs, Record Group 75, National Archives. The final
treaties are reproduced in _Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties_, vol. 2,
Washington, Government Printing Office, 1903, pp. 754-764.]
[Footnote 31: There are several accounts of this. The best, in the
opinion of the writer, is in James Mooney's "Calendar History of the
Kiowa Indians," _17th Annual Report of the Bureau of American
Ethnology_, Washington, Government Printing Office, 1898, pp. 181-186,
206-210.]
[Footnote 32: See photo taken at later date by Alexander Gardner, Still
Picture Branch, National Archives.]
[Footnote 33: An interesting sidelight on Satanta: In the spring of 1867
he accepted a complete general officer's uniform from General Hancock at
Fort Dodge and reciprocated shortly afterwards by attacking the post
while decked out in his new dress.]
[Footnote 34: Detail and orientation check closely with map of Fort
Sill, Oklahoma, sheet 6353 III NW, scale 1:25,000, Army Map Service.]
[Footnote 35: This was identified in Engineer Files, Cartographic
Branch, National Archives.]
[Footnote 36: An over-all photographic view of the post is in Still
Picture Branch, National Archives. For photos of the officers' quarters
and barracks, see Brown and Felton, _op. cit._ (footnote 2), pp. 98,
128.]
[Footnote 37: See photo in Brown and Felton _op. cit._ (footnote 2), p

[Footnote 38: _Ibid._, pp. 137, 140.]
[Footnote 39: _Ibid._, pp. 157, 163, and end paper map.]
[Footnote 40: Ewers, _op. cit._ (footnote 1), pp. 58-61, 1948.]
