Product Description |
|
In 1861, Oklahoma (Indian Territory) was the recent home of the transported Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole). When the Civil War broke outboth Union and Confederate state forces moved in and began fighting, both in the Indian Territory and across the borders of neighbouring states (mainly Kansas, but also Texas and Arkansas). Indians were recruited by both sides, and took the opportunity to pursue traditional hostilities which were supported by a variety of regular troops, guerrilla bands and outlaws. this book examines the warring sides in this fascinating and complex conflict. |

a good primer |
|
The pictures and artwork are really good; but don't expect much information from this book. It doesn't have very much. This would be a great book for a junior high history class. If you're seriously researching the war in the Indian Territory, you'll have to look elsewhere. |

Very detailed |
|
Native Americans fought in both Union and Confederate units during the Civil War and the Indian Territory saw its share of battles and campaigns, some of which spilled into nearby states. Some of the detail is a bit mind-numbing but if you are a reenactor or modeler this is probably the kind of detail that you need. The photos and artwork make this a must-have if this chapter of U.S. history is of interest to you. |
