Description |
|
Though largely forgotten, some 20-30 thousand Native Americans fought in the Civil War. Ely Parker was a Seneca leader who found himself in the thick of battle at the side of General Ulysses S. Grant. Stand Waite, a Confederate General and a Cherokee was known for his brilliant guerilla tactics. Also highlighted is Henry Berry Lowery, who became known as the Robin Hood of North Carolina. Respected Civil War authors Thom Hatch and Lawrence Hauptman help reconstruct these stories, along with descendants like Cherokee Nation member Jay Hanna, whose great-grandfathers fought for both the Union and the Confederacy. Together, they reveal a new perspective and the very personal reasons that drew these Native Americans into the fray. |

Indian History |
|
The History Channel's Indian Warriors is a good and valuable DVD. Although it concentrates on the Civil War era, there is much good material on the Trail of Tears etc. It is a story not often told and will go far in explanning the Indian position during the Civil War, at least of the Cherokees. The other tribes out west out not mentioned though all the five civilized tribes signed on with the Confederacy. For a valuable picture get this video. |
