Fort Washita was established by Zachary Taylor in 1842, to protect citizens of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations. Following the attack on Fort Sumter in April, 1861, Union forces under Colonel William Emory at Fort Washita left for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Confederate troops quickly occupied the fort, using it as a supply depot and military hospital for their forces in the Indian Territory until the end of the war, when it was abandoned and burned. H.
