Indian Warriors: The Untold Story of the Civil War


Indian Warriors: The Untold Story of the Civil War






https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_a0sdI5tCDYSUNtaHZMNVpqNm8/view?usp=sharing




Though largely forgotten, some 20-30 thousand Native Americans fought
in the Civil War.


Ely Parker was a Seneca leader who found himself in
the thick of battle at the side of General Ulysses S. Grant. Stand
Waite, a Confederate General and a Cherokee was known for his brilliant
guerilla tactics. Also highlighted is Henry Berry Lowery, who became
known as the Robin Hood of North Carolina. Respected Civil War authors
Thom Hatch and Lawrence Hauptman help reconstruct these stories, along
with descendants like Cherokee Nation member Jay Hanna, whose
great-grandfathers fought for both the Union and the Confederacy.
Together, they reveal a new perspective and the very personal reasons
that drew these Native Americans into the fray.
