Book Review

The Indian Territorial Journals of Colonel Richard Irving Dodge. Edited by Wayne R. Kime. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2000. xviii + 486 pp. Illustrations, maps, appendixes, notes, bibliography, index. $55.00.)

Wayne R. Kime of Fairmont College, West Virginia, provides researchers of western history with another superbly edited volume of Colonel Richard Irving Dodge's journals. We have in this volume eight of the twenty journals, the eleventh through the eighteenth, which are in the Everett D. Graff Collection of Western Americana at the Newberry Library. Colonel Dodge's experiences recorded in the present volume date from 1878 to 1880 and relate primarily to his experiences in Indian Territory. The focus is on his activities in establishing and commanding Cantonment North Fork Canadian River. 1

Seven of the eight journals in this volume are preceded by a lengthy and comprehensive commentary chronicling the history of the events covered in each journal. The seventh of these journals, which covers a period in which Colonel Dodge did not maintain a continuous record of his experiences, is presented in segments with commentary preceding each segment. The commentaries reflect Kime's exhaustive research in the government archives along with other sources. These commentaries, combined with the extensive footnoting of the journals, provide the reader with an excellent grasp of the period and Dodge's role in the chronicled events. . . .
