Biographical History
Thomas C. Battey, a Quaker working with the Kiowa Indians at the Kiowa Agency, Fort Sill, Indian Territory, author of The Life and Adventures of a Quaker Among the Indians (1875).
Thomas C. Battey, born in Starksboro, Vermont in 1828, was a Quaker missionary and teacher to the Caddo, Cheyenne, Apache, and Kiowa Indians. In 1871 Battey moved to Indian Territory to work with the Caddo Indians; two years later Kicking Bird, a Kiowa chief, asked him to start a school for the Kiowa children near Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He was later appointed field agent for the Kiowa Agency. Due to his failing health, Battey returned to his farm in Viola, Kansas in 1874. His book, The life and adventures of a quaker among the indians, was published in 1875. Battey moved to Ohio in 1890 and died of cancer in 1897.
