Cherokee Mounted Rifles military units of the U.S. Confederacy from 1861 to 1865, organized under the leadership of
Stand Watie, was commissioned by Brig. Gen.
Ben McCulloch to raise a regiment and, at a meeting of the southern sympathizers of the
Five Civilized Tribes on July 27, 1861, the First Cherokee Regiment was organized. On October 7, 1861, the day the treaty between the Cherokee Nation and the
Confederacy was signed, the regiment was almost full, with 1,214 men on its rolls.
