Indian Territory! LEE & REYNOLDS. / TRADE CHECK / CHEYENNE AGENCY. // (buffalo); Wm, rd., 31 mm. From the tokencatalog.com: "Circa: 1870-1880; William McDole Lee arrived at Camp Supply in 1868 and Lee and Reynolds were appointed Post Traders at C.S. in Nov. 1870. They maintained stores at both Cheyenne Agency near Darlington and Camp Supply, O.T.; there were between 3,000 and 3,800 Cheyenne and Araphaho Indians at the time. In May of 1874 L&R traded for 30,000 buffalo robes (not hides). Most of the buffalo were "gone" for hunting by 1878 in the Oklahoma area, as L&R got only 218 robes in 1878." Indian Territory
