SUMMARY:Battle of Honey Springs Memorial Service
DESCRIPTION:Honey Springs Battlefield will hold its annual memorial service honoring the 161st anniversary of the Battle of Honey Springs near Checotah on Saturday\, July 13\, at 10:30 a.m. \nThe memorial service will be held outside on the visitor center’s lawn. This year’s guest speaker will be Dr. Kristen Oertel\, the Chair of History at the University of Tulsa. \nThe service commemorates the largest of approximately 107 documented Civil War military engagements throughout Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma. The engagement took place at the Honey Springs settlement\, Muscogee (Creek) Nation\, on July 17\, 1863\, just two weeks after the famous Battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg. Approximately 9\,000 Union and Confederate troops\, mostly Native and African Americans\, were involved in the Battle of Honey Springs. Of those\, approximately 200 total casualties were suffered. After a decisive Union victory\, Confederates lost control of Indian Territory north of the Arkansas River. The Union victory also ensured Federal control of Fort Gibson in Indian Territory and Fort Smith in Arkansas. \nFor more information regarding the memorial service and Honey Springs Battlefield call 918-617-7125. You can also email honeysprings@history.ok.gov or adam.lynn@history.ok.gov. \n \n  \n  \n  \n
