A Civil War Battle unique for the participation of Native Americans on both sides.

Against the tragic backdrop of war, there are often very unique stories. The Civil War remains an enduring part of our national and our state history. Nearby Newtonia, Missouri was the site of a sometimes overlooked but significant battle of the Civil War--reported to be the only civil war battle outside of Indian Territory where regimented Native-Americans fought on both sides.
