Scalping

My intent was not to continue to spread incorrect information or demonize the Indian Civil War soldiers. I live in Oklahoma and am currently cataloguing and verifying burial sites of Civil War veterans and soldiers of The Civil War in Oklahoma. I ahve also provided information to the Alabama database of Al vets buried in Oklahoma. The fact that the Indians were at Pea Ridge at all was a violation of the treaties they signed with the Conf. government. So I will wait until you get the Indian Territory message board up to make any further comments. The original queries in the string asked 9sort of) for info on any other scalping incidents. That is the only reason I posted what I had read. Sorry to offend you.
