Beschreibung

First edition. Folded 8" x 12 1/2" sheets, 8 pp. This is one of two treaties signed by the United States with indigenous nations of the plains on the banks of the Little Arkansas River in Kansas. One treaty was with the Chenne and Arapaho on October 14, 1865. The other treaty is this present treaty which was concluded on October 18, 1865, with ratification advised on May 22, 1866, and proclaimed by President Andrew Johnson on May 26, 1866. This official copy of the Little Arkansas treaty with the Comanche and Kiowa was apparently part of a small edition, perhaps only enough for the use of the negotiating parties. Eberstadt Indian Treaties 40 says: "In this treaty made at the Council Ground in the Little Arkansas River, Kit Carson provides for the possession by the Comanche and Kiowa of a vast Texas Reservation, with reservations. Ostensibly the treaty gave the Indians the panhandle." Edges mildly tanned and two tiny chips to the fore-edges of the title page, else a very good copy. Housed in a brown cloth and chemise clamshell case with quarter leather spine and titles stamped in gilt on the spine. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 52801
