The Civil War in Indian Territory - Paperback

by J. Hardin Arias (Author), Oklahoma Civil Centennial Commission (Author)

The Civil War in what is now Oklahoma, then known as "Indian Territory," has long been overshadowed by the larger, more dramatic battles and campaigns that occurred in the East. However, to the inhabitants of this land, the war brought devastation and tragedy that rivaled or even exceeded the experiences of other regions. The participation of the Five Civilized Tribes in the conflict stands as a poignant and complex chapter in American history, one that deserves deeper reflection and recognition. Includes a new foreword and bibliography.
