1871 Report Committee of Friends on Indian Affairs History Quakers Indian Wars

Description

1871 Report Friends on Indian Affairs.
The Associated Executive Committee of Friends on Indian Affairs originated in 1869 in answer to President Grant's Peace Policy, officially giving management of the Indians in the Central Superintendency (Kansas and the "Indian Territory") to the Orthodox branch of the Society of Friends. The election of President Hayes ended the friendly relationship between the Quakers and the administration as it became evident that some officials distrusted the work and integrity of Friends. As a result, Friends withdrew from government sponsored work in 1879 and directed their efforts towards missionary work and the establishment of Meetings among the Native Americans.
This particular report provides great details into the history of Indian Affairs in the earlier years. Encounters with General Sherman and the Kiowa Chief Satanta during the events of the “Warren Wagon Train Raids”are discussed.
