 Very nice sir! When I went to Fort Gibson the only people there we a couple of ladies in period costume, and they were sitting outside one of the cabins talking on their cell phones...!
The visitors center was closed so I had to do a self tour...not nearly as enlightening as your experience.I have found a couple of promising books on the forts history:
