Civil War in Indian Territory. Welcome Visitor! Come sit a bit and learn about an area in the Civil War that has not been visited very much. The movies, television, books and other media have told much about this period in our country. Those stories are concentrated east of the Mississippi where the famous battles of Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Generals Grant and Lee led the Armies of the Union and Confederacy.
But, not much is known about 1861-1865 west of the Mississippi. Movies and books have woven fiction and non-fiction stories in a way that when a person thinks about the Civil War, it appears to have only happened in the east, and nothing about the Native Americans that fought. I grew up in Southwestern Oklahoma, the area that was the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache Reservation. The history books of Oklahoma touched only lightly on the Civil War period. A few years ago, I began the search for my ancestors. Since I am of Cherokee ancestory, and grew up in Oklahoma, this was an area I became very interested in.
