Photographs taken at Fort Dodge by William Soule and Philip Reade. The first is of John O. Austin, Chief of Scouts, with a group of 44 Indians taken captive in 1868 at Washita. Reade's caption states that "Soule taught me photography and I shot the bunch the other day." The second is of 11 doctors and officers, taken in 1869 outside the Billiard and Bar Room of the Fort Trader's Store. The third photograph is of Philip Reade and a group of 10 Osage and Kaw Indian Scouts
Clippings concern the career of Philip Reade, and include 2 flag of truce letters from Secret Service duty during the Civil War and commendations from Andrew Sheridan, Captain of the 3rd Infantry, for Reade's conduct in an Indian skirmish in 1868, and from De L. Floyde-Jones, Colonel of the 3rd Infantry, praising the "zeal and efficiency" with which Reade performed his duties as Regimental Adjutant at Fort Dodge
Reade describes his Indian and white scouts, noting what they earned and the names of several that had recently been killed, and gives summary information about Fort Dodge
