The Last Comanche Raid in the Chickasaw Nation

from the McGalliard Collection, Ardmore Public Library.

[Ed. Note; I have read several versions of this raid and there are some small discrepancies in this version but is as close to the true story as I have come across.  I am posting this version as the 'official' version. There were other raids by small groups of young men of the Comanche who were sowing their wild oats.  The 1865 raid was the last large raid in I.T.  The Comanche turned their attentions to Texas and Mexico.  The Treaty of 1866 gave the western lands of the Chickasaw/Choctaw lands west of the 98th Meridian to the U.S. government to use as a reservation for the Comanche. - Dennis Muncrief, Nov. 2001]
