- The Battle of Honey Springs, which took place on July 17, 1863, was the largest Civil War engagement in Indian Territory. Also remembered as the most ethnically diverse battle in the Civil War, the Battle of Honey Springs was fought by Indigenous, Black, and white soldiers. The tribal nations of the Muscogee, Cherokee, and Seminole divided, joining both the Union and Confederate armies. The First Kansas Colored Infantry Regiment was the first Black regiment in the Union army. Of the 9,000 who fought, approximately 200 total casualties were suffered. After a decisive Union victory, Confederates lost control of Indian Territory north of the Arkansas River.
“The Battle of Honey Springs” was written and directed by Oklahoma native Bryan Beasley and produced with support from the Friends of Honey Springs Battlefield, the Inasmuch Foundation, and the Oklahoma Historical Society.

It was a pleasure playing a small part in bringing this movie to fruition.
I heartily recommend to anyone who has an interest in civil war history that you go see this battlefield. It has been beautifully preserved and maintained.
Every two years (the odd numbered years) there’s a full reenactment. Y’all come out and see us.
This is a phenomenal work. Good job! I hope teachers in the area see it and utilize it in classes.
It was fun being a part of it
Very well produced! 👍🪶
Great report. Interesting way to portray history of an event, by having the players speak from their perspectives.
One minor complaint: General William Lewis Cabell was my great-great-grandfather, and his family pronounced their name as CAB-ul, not cab-ELL. ~ Richard Lemin
To be honest there were two First Kansas, one was called First Kansas Vol. Inf. and the other was called First Kansas Colored Vol. Inf
The arch of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward JUSTICE.
What goes around comes around.
the people in power now are far more evil than anyone in the south was. The union made sure America would be owned by banks and corporations for centuries to come. Were all still slaves with the illusion of choice
The Choctaw did not free their slaves until 1867
the union only cared about freeing slaves when the south wanted to secede... what about the freedom of the irish that lincoln forced to fight the second they got off the boats from ireland?
