Sabers and Shotguns: Civil War Cavalry in Indian Territory

Thousands of both Union and Confederate troops would be mounted during the war in Indian Territory. From well outfitted Union cavalry with saber and carbine, to sparsely outfitted Confederate tribal cavalry with shotguns, these men would be the scourge to both sides in battle and guerrilla warfare alike.
Join us at Honey Springs Battlefield on October 18th at 10:30 A.M. for "Sabers and Shotguns: Civil War Cavalry in Indian Territory" presented by Cody Faber of Fort Smith National Historic Site!
The program will focus on cavalry soldiers and their arms, equipment, saddles and tack as well as the most important weapon, the horse. Come see how these mounted soldiers greatly affected the war in Indian Territory 🐎
