On September 18, 1864, a Confederate force of mainly 2,000 men, Gen. Stand Watie’s Indian Brigade, intercepted a Union supply train en route from Kansas to Fort Gibson. The convoy was captured after a heavy engagement. This was the last major Civil War engagement in Indian Territory. Earlier, in July 1863, Confederate forces were defeated in a small skirmish here.
