About this Item
Description:
6pp. Folio. Original self-wrappers. A few small marginal tears to front wrapper, light tanning and foxing. Very good. An immediately post-Civil War treaty with the Oglala band of Lakota on the western frontier. The treaty, made in October of 1865 and ratified a few months later, was concluded by the Lakota leaders Long Bull and Charging Bear and U.S. military leaders including H.H. Sibley, not coincidentally one of the leading figures in the Dakota War of a few years prior. Set against a backdrop of resistance to White settlers on the Bozeman Trail and violent internal and external conflict during the Civil War, the first article of this treaty states in no uncertain terms that: "The O'Gallala band of Dakota or Sioux Indians, represented in council, hereby acknowledge themselves to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and authority of the United States, and hereby obligate and bind themselves, individually and collectively, not only to cease all hostilities against the persons and property of its citizens, but to use their influence, and, if necessary, physical force, to prevent other bands of the Dakota Indians, or other adjacent tribes, from making hostile demonstrations against the government or people of the United States." The treaty also stipulates that arguments between tribes will be arbitrated by the President of the United States and requires them to withdraw from the Bozeman Trail and any other overland routes "established OR HEREAFTER TO BE ESTABLISHED through their country" (emphasis ours). The treaty clearly did not meet the approbation of the other Oglala leaders - Chief Red Cloud launched the campaign known as Red Cloud's War within three months of ratification. An important short-lived postwar treaty, and a notable step in the ongoing American frontier wars. EBERSTADT INDIAN TREATIES 130. Seller Inventory # WRCAM7377
