Students of Native American      genealogy will welcome the re-publication of Henry Gannett's
Gazetteer of      Indian Territory
, first published in 1905. Gannett, geographer for the      U.S. Geological Survey, oversaw the publication of the Gazetteer between the      Oklahoma Land Rushes of 1889 to 1895 and Oklahoma's admission as the 46th      state in 1907. Indian Territory refers to those remaining southwest lands      that had become home, primarily, to the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee,      Chocktaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole) following their removal from the      southeastern states in 1833. (Small reservations of Quapaw, Peoria, Modoc,      Ottawa, Wyandot, and Shawnee dotted the northwestern corner of the      territory.)
Indian Territory is bounded on      the north by Kansas, on the east by Arkansas, on the south by Texas, and on      the west by Oklahoma. Readers will find a valuable description of the      region's geological, geographical, demographic, and economic characteristics      in Mr. Gannett's Introduction. The bulk of the book, of course, consists of      an alphabetical list of 2,100 place names, scattered through Indian      Territory. The place names range from villages, to railway stations, to      bodies of water, and to other natural formations. Each place name is      identified in relation to the Indian nation on whose reservation it could be      found and with reference to Indian Nation atlas sheets published separately      by the U.S. Geological Survey. All in all, this is a great tool for      researchers with ancestors among the Five Civilized Tribes and other Indian      nations.
