AMOS CHAPMAN MEDAL OF HONOR MEMORIAL MARKER

Chapman’s medal was revoked in a review in 1916–17, along with several other awards made to civilian scouts. It was restored in 1989. His citation reads “The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Civilian Scout Amos Chapman, a United States Civilian, for gallantry in action on 12 September 1874, while serving as an Indian Scout with the 6th U.S. Cavalry, at Washita River, Texas.” He was admitted into the Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame as one of the 2012 inductees.
