Information on Cherokee Cavalry units?

I came to notice the lack of information on the article about the Cherokee Indians' involvement, and courage in the battle of Pea Ridge. One cavalry fought for the Confederacy (the Confederate Cherokee) from Indian Territory or present-day Oklahoma and the Union Cherokee from Central Missouri. Pea Ridge was said to been the eastern boundary of the historic Western Cherokee Nation, but the reservation boundary was changed and moved westward after the US Civil War. An estimated 200 Confederate Cherokee and 100 Union Cherokee troops engaged in the battle of Pea Ridge, but the Union triumphed over what most Cherokee in Oklahoma also felt was a "lost cause" of their tribal sovereignity until statehood in 1907. + 71.102.10.169 (talk) 06:58, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To Improve the Article

The following outline is my proposal to improve this article. Note, much of the specific should be in separate articles, especially those which refer to individuals. But the basic roles and actions need to be here with links to the more detailed information. A specific item should not be considered done until the links that are necessary are populated. Feel free to change and alter this proposed outline to better reflect the information that should be included. Chris Light (talk) 14:13, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
