According to Thom Hatch, conflict between Indians and non-Indians between 1861 and 1865 was particularly violent. In The Blue, the Gray, & and the Red, Hatch describes conflict across the frontier West, usually involving militia, volunteers, or irregular forces: the Confederate attacks on the Creek leader Opothleyahola and his "Unionist" followers during their withdrawal from the Indian Territory; the Bear River Massacre of Shoshones in Utah; the Sioux Uprising in Minnesota; the Arizona campaign against Mangas Coloradas and the Apaches; the Navajo campaign; the Woolsey expeditions against the Apaches; Kit Carson's fights with the Southern Plains tribes, ending in the first battle at Adobe Walls; and the Sand Creek Massacre. |
