FT. GIBSON NATIONAL CEMETERY
It is situated on land that was once part of the military reservation and is within the limits of the Cherokee Nation. Records
indicate the area was probably called Ketona prior to 1824.
From 1863 to 1890, it was garrisoned by many small detachments of troops. In 1891, the War Department turned Fort Gibson
over to the Department of the Interior. Although active for only about 60 years, it has been a key post in American military
history. Among the many officers stationed at Fort Gibson were Lieutenant Jefferson Davis, General Zachary Taylor and Nathan
Boone (son of frontiersman Daniel Boone).
