I found this passage from a rememberance of Thomas F. Anderson, one of Watie's men....It seems to prove that Comanches did indeed serve under Watie. Anderson recruited them......".In the summer of 1862, I was sent out west to enlist for the Confederacy, and succeeded in raising one battalion of Osages, Major Broke Arm, one large company of Caddoes and Arrapahoes, Capt. George Washington, and one company of Comanches, Capt. Esopah or Esc Habbe, their Chief. All of these reported to Gen. Watie and were of good service to us, as they rambled between Kansas and the Texas Panhandle and prevented any invasion from Kansas, which otherwise would undoubtedly have taken place." You can find his account online....Perhaps I can post the link here........----john
