Three books that I recommend are:<br />Britton, Wiley. THE UNION INDIAN BRIGADE IN THE CIVIL WAR (1922)--this has been reprinted; written by a veteran of the 6th Kansas Cavalry, this has no notes or bibliography but is considered a standard source on the topic.<br /><br />Edwards, Whit. THE PRAIRIE WAS ON FIRE: EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS OF THE CIVIL WAR IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY. Oklahoma City: Oklahoma Historical Society, 2001. This covers more than just Indian troops but is a useful introduction to a wide range of primary accounts.<br /><br />Gaines, W. Craig. THE CONFEDERATE CHEROKEES: JOHN DREW'S REGIMENT OF MOUNTED RIFLES. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1989. Interesting account of an unusual unit; bibliography is a good guide to sources.<br /><br />Also, the Chronicles of Oklahoma, the scholarly publication of the Oklahoma Historical Society, has published many articles over the last few decades about the war in the Indian Territory. You can access this publication through <br />digital.library.okstate.edu/chronicles/index.html<br />On the pull down menu, you will also see the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, an excellent reference work that can be searched as well. <br /><br />Finally, check out www.history-sites.com/<br />This is a portal to many message boards relating to the Civil War including one relating to the Indian Territory. Try posting a query on that message board, and hopefully you'll make contact with someone who can provide you with more specific details about uniforms, etc. Hope this helps!Jane Johanssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723064098756475302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326223780463850836.post-84169642768285405792011-01-24T19:23:50.506-06:002011-01-24T19:23:50.506-06:00Mrs Johanssson,
My name is John. I live out here ...Mrs Johanssson,<br /><br />My name is John. I live out here in Massachusetts and am interested in the Native (Indian) involvement in the fighting within the Indain Territory and parts adjacent...I was wondering would you be willing to share any material on this topic? I am particularly interested in anything having to do with clothing and traditional practices (body painting, haircuts, weapons use) Thank You for Your timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
