Notes

Abstract: For more than a century, scholars, Native Americans, and an interested public have both studied and commemorated events that took place on the Washita River on a fateful day in 1868. As William Lees, Douglas Scott, and Vance Haynes show, archaeological/geological surveys in 1995 and 1997 exposed new evidence and added much to an understanding of place and event.
