MAY 8, 1863:
A
skirmish between Union and Confederate (Cherokee) forces occurs along the Texas
Trail at Cabin Creek, in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). The Texas Trail was
the conduit for Union military supplies moving south from Kansas to the forts
in Indian Territory during the war. As might be surmised, the Texas Trail ran
south to Texas, and the ford at Cabin Creek was the site of several Civil War
engagements.
