I wouldn't bother with it. Unfortunately, there really isn't anything to recommend in its place.

After walking over to the bookshelf and reading over the inside cover of the dust jacket, it appears this one actually concentrates on the campaigns waged against the American Indians in the far west during the war, not any actual fighting in the Indian Territory or involving Indian units which participated in the war.<br /><br />BrettAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-67896714915516662302007-01-10T20:48:00.000-08:002007-01-10T20:48:00.000-08:00Drew,

It was published by Stackpole Books in 2003 and was written by Thom Hatch. What are your thoughts on this one? Good, bad, so terrible it should never be spoken of again?<br /><br />BrettAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-24900637409430429092007-01-10T09:01:00.000-08:002007-01-10T09:01:00.000-08:00Hi David,

I quit after the first half; I couldn't take it anymore. <br /><br />Another thing that I forgot was the Journal of the Indian Wars issue on the Civil War... I believe there was an article in there on 1st and 2nd Cabin Creek and maybe some more IT stuff.<br /><br />I am glad you mentioned the Chronicles of Oklahoma.

The Gaines book on Drew's Regiment (Confederate Cherokees) is great.
