Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Stand Watie was the last Confederate general to surrender—June 23, 1865, months after Appomattox. This raid was basically his victory lap.
The film's 1992 release coincided with renewed academic interest in Native involvement in the Civil War, particularly the Five Civilized Tribes' fractured loyalties.
