The Indian Territory in the Civil War Message Board

That Osprey book

The mounted rifles book is interesting, but as my fellow buffs point out, there are inaccuracies. The first thing I noted in the art was that the blacksmih shop portrayed at Fort Gibson, 1863-65. was not constructed until 1867-1868. Even then, it was the band quarters and then the post chapel before being converted to the post blacksmith shop, sometime, circa 1880.
