1st Osage Battalion
In September, 1861, Colonel John Mathews, Augustus
Captain and a number of Osage Indians burned Osage Mills and Mission; then
raided and sacked the town of Humboldt, Kansas.
The various Osage Indian chiefs and leaders did sign a Treaty on 2 October 1861
with Albert Pike, Commissioner of the Confederate States, to support the
southern cause. The Osage tribes indicated they would provide at least 500
warriors to serve in the Confederate States Army. The 1st Osage Battalion, C.S.A.,
was organized with three companies in early 1862. It was sometimes known as
Osage Broke Arm's Cavalry Battalion. This military unit did provide some 200 men
to serve in the Confederate States Army. It was assigned first to General
Ben McCulloch, then later to Brigadier General Douglas H. Cooper in his
Cooper's Indian Cavalry Division in 1863-64. The 1st Osage Battalion served
under Brigadier General Stand Watie in his First Indian Cavalry Brigade.
Surrendered by Brigadier General Stand Watie near Doaksville, Indian
Territory, on 23 June 1865.
