Round Mountain OK001

supportedunresolved Cooper learned from prisoners that part of the band was near the Red Fork; in the dark he and Bourland rode forward to ask whether the approaching men were Texans and were answered by rifle fire.

Knowledge attributed in an interested report; no message log inspected.

disputedunresolved Cooper says he did not pursue because the enemy had destroyed the forage and his horses were worn down, and lists a buggy, 12 wagons and provisions left in the abandoned camp; Britton says only a few old ponies and broken, useless wagons were found.

Captured property is described differently by the report and the history; not a return.

supportedunresolved Cooper resolved to advance and either compel submission to the Creek authorities or drive Opothleyahola's party from the country. Britton says the chief determined to resist as far as he could.

Stated aims from an interested report and a history.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Confederate victory; the frozen description says the Confederates claimed victory because the chief left the area. Cooper says the enemy made good his retreat under cover of darkness; Britton says the Union Indians drove the first attackers from the field before retreating north in the night. Britton also says that when Cooper came up it had become very dark and no engagement took place that night; Cooper describes a short but sharp night conflict.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads Unknown; the live field reads 10 (US 0; CS 10). Cooper gives his entire loss as 1 captain and 5 men killed and further wounded and missing in a garbled line, and prisoners' estimate of the enemy's loss as a figure read '1 10' in OCR. Britton says the attackers lost upward of twenty killed and wounded in the first repulse.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. Cooper's garbled wounded figures are not decoded.

supportedunresolved The frozen commanders are Colonel Douglas H. Cooper and Opothleyahola (no rank recorded); the live page gives Cooper as Brigadier General and the chief as US. Cooper's report says, in the passive, that a charge was ordered to be made by Quayle's Texas cavalry upon the camp, and Britton says Quayle charged it; Cooper rode forward in person with Bourland at the night encounter.

Command roles from an interested report; no account by the chief was inspected, the live rank is not adopted, and there is no automatic sole credit.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

disputedunresolved The frozen force field names the Creeks and Seminoles and the Indian Department without figures; the live field is blank. The frozen description says Cooper set out with about 1,400; Cooper says about 1,400 moved up the Deep Fork and that Opothleyahola's force was variously estimated at 800 to 1,200 Creeks and Seminoles and 200 to 300 negroes. Britton gives Cooper fourteen hundred and says the chief estimated he could bring about fifteen hundred into the field.

Column and estimated opposing figures; no return. No account by Opothleyahola's side was inspected; every figure for his force and losses is an opponent's estimate or a history's. None is adopted as a matched opening strength.

supportedinherited Cooper says the scouts pursued disappeared into the timber skirting a creek where the main camp lay, near the Red Fork of the Arkansas, and that the darkness of the night made positions uncertain; Britton says it was getting dark as the attackers approached the timber.
