This award winning book tells the true story of the final Confederate raid into what is now northeastern Oklahoma.  The military operation was planned by Confederate Brigadier General Stand Watie and was executed by Brigadier General Richard M. Gano.

Called "one of the most brilliant and daring raids of the Civil War," the raid culminated in the capture  of a Union wagon supply train consisting of more than 300 wagons with goods valued at more than $1.5 million.  The wagon train was captured after a pitched battle on the bluffs of Cabin Creek.

On January 25, 1865, the Confederate Congress passed a resolution officially thanking Watie, Gano and their respective commands for their actions on the 19th of September 1864 at Cabin Creek in the Cherokee Nation.
