SOUVENIR VIEWS OF APACHE, CADDO COUNTY, OKLAHOMA [wrapper title]. An unrecorded souvenir view book for the small town of Apache, in sparsely populated Caddo County, Oklahoma. Apache was established in 1901, after the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache reservation was dissolved by the Curtis Act and opened for unrestricted settlement. This booklet of views of the small town was published by the Amphlett Brothers Drug and Jewelry Store, which is pictured inside and whose building still stands in the two-square-mile town today. Other images in the souvenir book include the Caddo County courthouse in Anadarko, the Apache State Bank (still standing), the Apache Milling Company, various residences and businesses and nearby nature scenes, the Cache Creek Indian Mission, and an image of Geronimo in full attire labeled "Geronimo, Chief of the Apaches" (a position he never held). An intriguing image is captioned "Indians Celebrating July 4th in Streets of Apache," and shows several men on horseback in the town.An interesting artifact from the early years of one of the first settled towns in Indian Territory following the allotment of tribal lands.
