Description
Osprey's examination of the warring sides of the American Civil War (1861-1865). In 1861, Oklahoma (Indian Territory) was the recent home of the transported Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole). When the Civil War broke out, both Union and Confederate state forces moved in and began fighting, both in the Indian Territory and across the borders of neighbouring states (mainly Kansas, but also Texas and Arkansas). Indians were recruited by both sides, and took show more the opportunity to pursue traditional hostilities which were supported by a variety of regular troops, guerrilla bands and outlaws. this book show lessTags

A typical Osprey booklet somewhat undercut by trying to do too much. This is as the author tries to cover units raised from the various tribes, AND volunteers, AND guerrillas, AND United States Colored Troops. Producing a "Men at Arms" number just concentrating on Indian units might have been a better concept.
