Battle of Middle Boggy Depot

The Battle of Middle Boggy was a skirmish in the American Civil War, fought between the Union and Confederate armies on February 13, 1864. The battle took place in Choctaw Indian Territory, approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) south of what is now Allen in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. Its exact location is still debated/unknown.. Part of a larger Union campaign in Indian Territory, Union Colonel William A. Phillips sent out an advance of approximately 350 men from the 14th Kansas Cavalry and two howitzers to attack a Confederate outpost guarding the crossing of Middle Boggy River. The outpost was about 36 miles from Boggy Depot, which was held by 90 underprepared Confederate soldiers when Willett's army ambushed.
