Stumbling Bear became an influential war chief by leading raids against the Sac and Fox, Pawnees, and Navajos and white settlers in his youth. In November 1864 at the Battle of Adobe Walls, Chief Stumbling Bear fought U.S. forces led by Kit Carson. He was a hero to his people and wore his daughter's shawl as for good luck. The shawl was pierced with a dozen bullets but Stumbling Bear was not wounded.
After signing the Treaty of Medicine Lodge in 1867, he became an ardent advocate of peace with the whites. He was in the delegation of Kiowa chiefs who traveled to Washington D.C. to seek peace. As a result of his actions for peace, the federal government built a home for Chief Stumbling Bear. This became part of the first permanent settlement of the Plains tribes.
The cache is a camoed medicine bottle. Please be sure to hide it well so it won't be discovered by non-cachers.
RTODDD added some interesting information on the geology of this area. "A short walk just north of the hide will find you in a road cut through Cambrian period exposed Fort Sill Limestone that is the lower part of 5000-7000 foot thick layer of limestone that covered much of the eastern U.S. 500 million years ago. It once completely covered the crystalline basement of the Wichita Mountains but has since eroded away except for sites like this and Signal Mountain and McKenzie Hill on Fort Sill. The strange parallel lines of exposed rock visible on the hillsides east of the cache are known as tombstone formations. " Thank you!!
