This brief article concerns the impending treaty negotiations between various Indian tribes and the U. S. government, which would eventually be signed at Medicine Lodge Creek in Barber County, Kansas. The article mentions that, in case no peace treaties were signed, the military would protect settlers by stationing more soldiers on the plains and by hastening the completion of more railroads. These railroads would ensure that game animals (buffalo), essential to the livelihood of the Indian tribes, would be wiped out. Overall, this article serves to highlight the growing tensions between white settlers and Native Americans.

This source demonstrates the increased military presence on the plains and illuminates how the U.S. government hoped to deal with what they called "the Indian problem." The article mentions the depletion of natural resources and could work in tandem with documents and images related to the depletion of the buffalo.
