MooNEY] PROPOSITION TO DEPORT HOSTILES 215 



tLein, practically about all of the Cheyenne, Comanche, and Kiowa 

 tribes, to a remote district, where they were to be disarmed, dismounted, 

 and compelled to work in return for the supplies to be furnished by 

 the government. Congress having appropriated funds for the purpose, 

 arrangements were )u;ide with the Quapaw in April, 1875, by special 

 agent Major C. F. Larrabee for the purchase of a jjortion of their reser- 

 vation in tlie northeastern corner of Indian Territory. Preparations 

 were commenced for their removal, but in consequence of an adverse 

 report made by the commissioner appointed to remove them, the plan 

 was abandoned {Report, 54). 



As had been done in the case of the Cheyenne and Arapaho, a 

 number of the Kiowa aud Comanche were selected from among the late 

 hostiles and sent about the first of May, 1875, to join their predecessors 

 in military confinement at Fort Marion, Florida. It is somewhat of a 

 coincidence that the exiled Apache of Geronimo's band who were 

 removed from Arizona as prisoners of war in 1886 to the same Fort 

 Marion are now located at Fort Sill, upon the Kiowa reservation, to 

 which point they were brought, in September, 1894, after a temporary 

 sojourn at Mount Vernon Barracks, Alabama. Nine Comanche and 

 twenty-six Kiowa were selected, making, with the Cheyenne and Arap- 

 aho, a total of seventy prisoners sent to Florida. Of the Kiowa the 

 most prominent were Lone-wolf, Swan, Woman-heart, aud Wliite-horse, 

 the last named being selected on account of his ijrevious record as a 

 notorious raider, although he had been enrolled with the friendlies 

 during the outbreak [Report, 55). It was of course the intention to 

 select for punishment those who had been most conspicuous or guilty 

 in the outbreak, but the selection being left principally to Kicking- 

 bird, that chief, with a natural desire to shield his friends, picket! out 

 only a few of the prominent leaders, making up the quota with Mexican 

 captives and young men of no great reputation. Following is the list
