Old Fort Supply History Buff

"I have been a history buff of the Oklahoma Territory and south Kansas area all my life but have never read an account better (especially in the Alva area) than the Old Fort Supply you published in your latest addition. I hope everyone takes the time to read it. It would be fun to trace the areas that were mentioned in the Fort Supply story. Years ago I had a book that listed the old forts in the area and found many of them on farms. Not a lot left of them but standing on the property and reading it's history was really neat. Keep up to good work. One of the best books I've read of the Plains was "The Great Buffalo Hunt". It tracks the 11 years that it took to reduce the buffalo from tens of millions to almost extinction. The governmemt secretly allowed it to bring the tribes under control and of course it worked. Thanks a lot." -- Randy   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
