Bucksin Joe’s Cowhorn Band’s 88 Year Arkansas City Tale
Arkansas City’s municipal band traces 88 years from 1871 through many name changes and leaders. Civil War veteran E. Joe Hoyt formed Bucksin Joe’s Cowhorn Band with 12 players, later evolving into the Arkansas City Military Band under W D MacAllister, who remains director after 55 years. The group used a sapling baton from Gettysburg’s battlefield chaplain, witnessed a tornado interrupt a concert, and now performs weekly in the park in summer and at the Alkalalah parade, with a history of gender barriers until 1953.
