there is also mention of jeff fulton in those papers as a school trustee.

page 254, volume 26 of the oklahoma chronicles has a reference to the lighthorsemen. you can probably get access to it through interlibrary loan. see your local public library for that.

many of the oklahoma chronicles can be accessed through the search and the volumes/pages.

the choctaw tribe might have more information too. i don’t think they read the messageboard, so you would have to contact them directly.
