This work focuses on the involvement of Native Americans in the Civil War, particularly their alliances and conflicts aligned with both the Union and Confederate forces. It provides an in-depth exploration of how various tribes engaged in the war, reflecting on the social and military dynamics of the time. At the start of the book, Abel outlines the precarious alliance between Native Americans and the Confederate forces, highlighting the Battle of Pea Ridge as a pivotal event.
