Oh this is somewhat related to what we are discussing. Its a link to an account of A.W. Sparks, a member of the 9th Texas Cavalry who pursued Opothleyahola. Some interesting bits of information of the Indian allies who went with him on that mission....A variety of dress is described, and they didnt all use just guns either..Take a look.....---John
