At Pea Ridge there were Indians with the Confederates. Does anyone make figures in 10mm that could be used. Second are there any books that describe how they may have been dressed and fought at that battle. Were they just skirmishers or did they form firing lines?
Thanks for any help you can provide. |

We also have some Indians in our AWI 10mm range that are pretty nice. Just don't think the Indians for this battle were dressed as "savages". ….But I wasn't these, despite my daughter thinking I am THAT old! 8>) Tom Dye

I wonder as well whether they were wearing native dress or some mix of civilian/CSA clothing. From here: link …. In August, 1861, he was commissioned a Brigadier General and negotiated several treaties between the "Five Civilized Tribes" and the Confederate States. Those treaties specifically stated that the Indian regiments would only be used for the defense of the Indian Territory.
…..
Prior to Pea Ridge, Pike's "Indian Brigade" had about 1,000 soldiers, which included a unit of Texas cavalry. The Brigade played a limited role on the Leetown battlefield, protecting the Confederate right flank. After ambushing a company of the 3rd Iowa Cavalry, they came under fire from Federal artillery, which disorganized and scattered the Indian Brigade. Many of the troops left the battlefield and returned home. The Indian Brigade's service at Pea Ridge was noted more for its propaganda value than for any military worth. When a number of Federal dead were found scalped and mutilated, the Indian troops were accused of the atrocity and Pike was vigorously denounced throughout the North. In July, 1862, he resigned his commission saying that the Confederate Government was violating the treaties with the Indians. After the war, Pike left Arkansas and moved to Washington, D.C. where he died in 1891. |

Larry Reber of Gettysburg Soldiers (www.gettysburgsoldiers.com) sells 15mm Native American cavalry (Stand Watie's men). Check his website for ideas on painting similar figures in 10mm. |

Thanks Scott. I looked at the site and it gave some ideas on what to do. |
