Late in April 1861; President Lincoln ordered Federal troops to evacuate forts in Indian Territory. That left the Five Civilized Tribes—Cherokees; Chickasaws; Choctaws; Creeks; and Seminoles—essentially under Confederate jurisdiction and control. The American Indian and the End of the Confederacy; 1863–1866; spans the closing years of the Civil War; when Southern fortunes were waning; and the immediate postwar period.

I'm thrilled to learn of the spirit of these Indian people and heartbroken over the total and deliberate shattering of the worldBy Lyja SamI was entranced for days; reading this book. Very often I couldn't see the print on the page as tears would flow and I'd have to stop and recover some composure. I'm astounded that I never knew this story since I was born and raised in Minot; ND. I'm thrilled to learn of the spirit of these Indian people and heartbroken over the total and deliberate shattering of the world they loved and flourished in. I'm proud of Old Dog's descendants; these young; smart lawyers; and the women who brought them up. I feel the happenings recorded here are part of my own history that I didn't know.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. True American FightersBy Thomas S.I'm very happy the way this book was writen about the Cross family. It was true to the writing; down to the last detail. I was sad to hear and read the way our goverment treated these people as well as other native americans. I was surprised what Pres. Nixon did for them in the end. I'm happy to say that I know one of the members of the Cross family; and heard about this before the book was written.1 of 3 people found the following review helpful. me likeyBy procrasticleanerthis book tell a very interesting story. i read it about 2 years ago; so i don't remember much.
