In Response To: Quantrill in Indian Territory ()

Noted Guerrillas by John N. Edwards, page 226

" On the 10th day of March, 1864, Quantrell—still having
about him the most of his old men—broke the long inactivity of
his winter camp near Sherman, Texas, and started for Missouri.
That portion of the Indian Nation extending from Red river to
the Arkansas river on the west was comparatively a desert.
The Pin Indians—that faction of the Cherokees who belonged
to Ross—had burned the property and wasted the substance of
the Confederate Cherokees and Choctaws—and the Confederate
Cherokees and Choctaws, in retaliation, had burned the property
and wasted the substance of the Pins."

While it doesn't say explicitly, I can't imagine why Quantrill would not have crossed the IT.
Maybe this will get the query back on track. ~Don
