Annie Heloise Abel describes the 1862 Battle of Pea Ridge, a bloody
disaster for the Confederates but a glorious moment for Colonel
Stand Watie and his Cherokee Mounted Rifles. The Indians were soon
enough swept by the war into a vortex of confusion and chaos. Abel
makes clear that their participation in the conflict brought only
devastation to Indian Territory.
Born in England and educated in Kansas, Annie Heloise Abel
(1873-1947) was a historical editor and writer of books dealing
mainly with the trans-Mississippi West. They include "The American
Indian as Slaveholder and Secessionist" (1915), also reprinted as a
Bison Book. Abel's distinguished career is noted in an introduction
by Theda Perdue, the author of "Slavery and the Evolution of
Cherokee Society" (1979), and Michael D. Green, whose "Politics of
Indian Removal: Creek Government and Society in Crisis" (1982) was
published by the University of Nebraska Press.
This is a new release of the original 1941 edition.
