In the 1878 Battle of Turkey Springs a band of Northern Cheyenne, who were escaping starvation and illness at their assigned reservation in the Fort Reno vicinity, rebuffed the US Cavalry, who had been sent to return them to the reservation. The Battle of Turkey Springs is notable as the last known armed conflict between the US Army and American Indians in Oklahoma.
