Seger's account was first published in 1923, this is the second Oklahoma Press edition with an appendix on "Tradition of the Cheyenne Indians". Oklahoma Historical Society, "Seger, John Homer (1846-1928)". Seger founded the town of Colony, Oklahoma and the Model Indian Industrial School. Throughout his life he was charged to encourage Native American peoples to assimilate to white American culture. He helped establish agricultural communities for the Cheyenne people, including the building of a cattle herd for their community. In 1890-91 Seger became a special agent appointed to help allot the Oklahoma reservation lands to individual tribe members. During his time in Oklahoma he became intimately familiar with the culture of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe, at a time when Native Americans were being coerced into white traditions, and into settlements that were created without direction from Native peoples.
