Bourland in North Texas and Indian Territory During the Civil War: Fort Cobb, Fort Arbuckle & the Wichita Mountains
by Patricia Adkins-Rochette
I was born in 1942 in Chickasha, Grady County OK and raised on Rush Creek,
Garvin County OK immediately north of the Table Top Mountains. I attended
Davis in District #47 for eight years, a one-room school; attended both Maysville
and Elmore City High; graduated in the Fall of 1963 from Central State College in
Edmond OK; then I was a science teacher.
My objective in compiling this 1,046-page book, 70% from handwritten
records, was to advance the history of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
The events of the Civil War, especially the interrelationships with all Indian tribes,
have been under-reported. I hope that this study will change the perceptions of
the Civil War era in North Texas and Southern Indian Territory.
