Beginning with the Battle of Pea Ridge, where the Confederacy’s Indian alliance first cracked under fire, Annie Heloise Abel traces the war as it was fought in and around Indian Territory. She follows Albert Pike’s quarrels with General Hindman, the Union Indian Expeditions toward Tahlequah, and the misery of refugee families camped in southern Kansas, drawing throughout on official papers and letters.
The second volume of Abel’s pioneering trilogy, and still a foundational study of a western theatre most Civil War histories pass over. Download the free EPUB.
