 Sam Bell Maxey and the Confederate Indians Accompanying photos, clear maps. This book will leave you wanting to learn more about this rather neglected region of the war.

 The American Indian in the Civil War, 1862-1865 The 1862 Battle of Pea Ridge, a bloody disaster for the confederates but a glorious moment for Colonel Stand Watie and his Cherokee Mounted Rifles. The Indians were soon enough swept by the war into a vortex of confusion and chaos. |
