2) The Compendium of the Confederate Armies, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, the Confederate Units, and the Indian Units, by Stewart Sifakis.

3) The American Indian in the Civil War, by Annie Heloise Abel.

4) Sam Bell Maxey and the Confederate Indians, by John C. Waugh.

5) Civil War in the Indian Territory, by Steve Cottrell.

6) Civil War on the Western Border, 1854 - 1865, by Jay Monaghan.

7) The Civil War on the Border, Volume I 1861 - 1862, and Volume II 1863 - 1865, by Wiley Britton, very, very detailed, some maps, about 1,000 pages combined, official reports from both sides, and Wiley was a participant in the US Army in that region for the entire war.

8) Official Military History of Kansas Regiments During the War for the Suppression of the Great Rebellion, by W.S. Bruce.

9) Kansas in the Sixties, by Samuel J. Crawford, a participant in the US Army at Wilson's Creek, Prarie Grove, Westport or Big and Little Blue Rivers in 1864 during Sterling Price's invasion of Missouri and Kansas, etc., and later with the 19th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry
with Custer during the Indian Campaign of 1868 - 1869.

10) Rebel Invasion of Missouri and Kansas and the Campaign of the Army of the Border Against General Sterling Price in October and November 1864, by Richard J. Hinton, but not much here on the Indians of both sides whom didn't directly participate as they were engaged in Indian Territory.

11) Confederate Cavalry West of the River, by Stephen B. Oates, a great ACW historian for the Trans Miss. and he has written another book or so.

12) The Union Indian Brigade in the Civil War, again by Wiley Britton.

13) The Camden Expedition of 1864 and the Opportunity Lost by the Confederacy to Change the Civil war, by Michael J. Forsyth. Confed. Indians of Walker's Chickasaw and Choctaw Bde. of Maxey's Division were at Posion Springs but not Mark's Mill.

14) Several books on Texas Cav. units such as Parson's, the 1st, 3rd and 9th Texas Cavalries, etc.

15) Last but not least, Kirby Smith's Confederacy, the Trans-Mississippi South, 1863 - 1865, by Robert l. Kirby, the bible on the Trans Miss. more or less.

16) There are many more books on the subject.

Many links are on the inet..

That list of books was posted for *Eric and Erik* and Gil a month or so ago.

The only Indians that operated as Infantry in the Trans Miss. were ocassionally units of the Union Home Guard Indian units. USA and CSA Indians mainly operated as Cavalry and Mounted Infantry. The USA used dismounted Indians to guard wagon trains etc. but in the CSA Army they were all mounted, except when mounts weren't available for various reasons and they stayed home or guarded CSA installations such as Boggy Depot, Fort Smith, etc.

Just a plea to have only the USA in the game able to obtain Indian Infantry, and to have Stand Watie's Cherokee, Osage, Cado, etc. Brigade as a Legendary Unit, with perhaps one of the three USA Indian Units, either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Indian Home Guard Regiments as a Legendary Unit.

Adds histroical flavor.

Chris

PS: I own all those and have read most at least partially of fully, and have perused others for info. and enjoyment.
