Interesting question, since in a letter to Watie from his wife, she says, "I will get me a house in Bellview so the children can go to school it (is) impossible for (me) to stay here I will get some one to stay and take care of our corn it will do to fatten our horses you must write every chance and direct it to Lanagin and let him mail it to Rusk Bellview, it looks like I cant live and not hear from you. You must write and tell me when it will be safe to come. I sent the bay horse the black was to poor to go. I will bring him. you can either send that back or keep him till I come. I can sell him for six hundred here..." ( June 8, 1863)
In another letter she writes, "I will watch and if I can I will buy that tobacco. I cant buy one thing with old money. You must send me some that will pass I told Oakes to trade on that he had and sell what he bought for new I have not sold my horses yet. I cant see how I can do without them unless I was at home and stay there." (June 12, 1864). Chronicles of Oklahoma, Volume 1, No. 1, January, 1921: SOME LETTERS OF GENERAL STAND WATIE.
do you HAVE a point, TROLL??
do you REALLY believe ANYONE here believes ANYTHING you post since (at least & maybe NOT before, either) you "shot yourself in the foot", TROLL???
fyi, you are a KNOWN deceiver, as well as a LITTLE TROLL, who evidently has NO LIFE. NOBODY (with the possible exception of the members of "THE STUPID CLUB" & they are so DUMB that they'll believe ANYTHING!) believes you any more.
that's WHY the vast majority of people on these threads will NOT post TO you; MOST will NOT even READ your deceptions/lies/foolishness. fyi, you have RUINED yourself on FR!
laughing AT you, TROLL.

Nevermind my last post. I see someone has posted one of the letters.
stand, where did you get the idea Watie didn’t have horses? One of their biggest joys was horse racing. He had plantations and lots of stock before the war.
Anyway, I’ve had enough of this conversation. Doesn’t seem anyone is interested in learning history, some just want to argue and never solve anything. Same crappola that starts wars.
