From the Collection:
The collection contains the nine-page manuscript by Lieutenant J. S. Stewart (CSA), describing the various bands of Comanches, indicating the tribe numbers and probable locations, inhabiting mainly Arkansas and Texas. The document most likely was written with a view to recruiting the Indians to the Confederate cause. There is also Stewart's handwritten copy of Albert Pike's 1861(?) treaty with the Comanches.
