About this book:
One of the most tragic theaters of Civil War conflict was the Indian Territory (modern Oklahoma) and the borderlands of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. Both the Union and the Confederacy raised Native American units to contest this ground, and tribes were divided against one another and amongst themselves. Federal and Confederate cavalry also struck into the Territory from Kansas and Texas, and the irregular marauders who raided the area such as Kansas Red Legs and Quantrill’s Raiders earned notoriety. This fascinating account of the groups that fought in the Territory is richly illustrated with rare early photos and detailed color reconstructions.
