Another Civil War Battle field

Does anyone know about this Battlefield? I found this in an interveiw with Ned Thompson.

Indian Territory Battlefield

I was a child and can't remember all about it but we were going to Ft. Gibson and the Civil War had just started. We went through a battlefield where there were many dead persons. Some were white and some were Indians. It was six or seven miles east of High Spring. There was a house close and there were some who were living in the house but the wounded were in there on beds. One of my sisters had bad dreams and cried all night because of what she had seen. The dead were in the corn rows.

For those who don't know High Springs is on the Hill North of Hitchita Ok.
