Bourland in North Texas and Indian Territory During the Civil War
by Patricia Adkins-Rochette
From the introduction: "My major objective in this study was to illustrate how close many Indian Territory residents of the Civil War era came to starvation — a topic that was not addressed in the Oklahoma public schools of the 1940s and 1950s.
       Themes in this study are starvation, corn, cattle, horses, Negroes and slaves, plus the Plains Indians and their captives.  The major reason that the people of Indian Territory almost starved was that their cattle were stolen and driven back East to feed the Union and Confederate armies.   Bourland’s Regiment attempted to feed and clothe the Indian refugees."
