Delaware Scout Leads Union Troops to Safety (31 MAY 1861)

Summary by DVIDS
On May 31, 1861, Col. William H. Emory, a Union commander in what was known as “Indian Territory” in present-day Oklahoma, arrived at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, after a month of traveling through hostile territory. His guide was a Delaware (Lenape) scout named Se-ket-tu-ma-qua, or Black Beaver, whose service as a scout, guide, and interpreter for the U.S. Army led to the first capture of Confederate prisoners during the American Civil War.
