Twisting history: The Battle of Dove Creek I learned about in a history book with a letter from a Confederate soldier present during the battle. January 8, 1865, about 500 Texas Confederates attacked a Kickapoo camp during a blizzard. Including women and children, the Kickapoo were outnumbered. Hiding in the snow, the men dragged soldiers off their horses as the women and children beat and stabbed them. The Confederates turned tail and ran for their lives.

            Note the sign listing 2000 Kickapoo. Even today the Mexican Kickapoo number about 500. Even Wikipedia has been doctored with, no one mentioning that most of the Kickapoo were women and children. A book written about 1960 has the only eye-witness account.
