There are many names listed in them, in case you are looking for Indian ancestors that may have fought. Check them out. You can reach them from: http://rebelcherokee.tripod.com/csatrtylist.html During summer, 1861, Albert Pike, Commissioner of the Indian Territory West of Arkansas, met with the Nations and Tribes in Indian Territory and negotiated treaties with them on behalf of the Confederate States of America. The military operations in and around Virginia and the other Southeastern states during the War For Southern Independence receive historically so much attention that, as a consequence, the steady, stubborn fighting west of the Mississippi River is either totally ignored or, at best, cast into dim obscurity. There is much truth in this criticism but it applies in fullest measure only when the Indians are taken into account; for no accredited history of the American Civil War that has yet appeared has adequately recognized certain interesting facts connected with that period of frontier development. Indians fought on both sides in this struggle, they were moved to fight, not by instincts of savagery, but by identically the same motives and impulses as the white man. In the final outcome, they suffered even more terribly than did the whites. The Indians fought as solicited allies, some as nations, diplomatically approached. Treaties were made with them as with foreign powers and not in the way that had been customary in times past. They promised alliance and were given in return, political position. The Southern white man conceded much more than he really believed in, had he not himself, been so hard pressed. His own predicament at the moment made him give the Indians a justice the like of which neither had dared to dream.
