Description
I've driven this road many times over the years since 2001, and this week, July 31, 2019, was the very first time I have ever spied this roadside historical marker! It was really faded and hidden, so I pulled some of the weeds back to snap a few pictures. Amazing history from the 1830s-50s. This is also in what is known as the Chickasaw Nation. It was in the 1800s known as Indian Territory.
Oklahoma - old Highway 81, near Comanche.
Old Military Trail To Adventures in the West.
The famous Dragoon Expedition, 1834. Col. Henry Dodge in command passed near here on the way west to the Wichita Village on North Fork of Red River. Near here in 1852 - Capt. R.B. Marcy, 5th Inf. met his wagon train for his expedition west in search of the source of Red River. East of here 2 miles was the Chisholm Trail.
