Middle Boggy Depot OK005

supportedunresolved The frozen description says Willette's troops surprised the Confederate force. Phillips's reports give intelligence of Maxey's forces and the Choctaw council but no account of how the advance found the enemy at Middle Boggy.

A summary's characterization and a report's general intelligence; no scouting report for February 13 inspected.

supportedunresolved Phillips says he started with about six days' rations and was out nearly a month, subsisting on corn ground in captured hand-mills, and that his men were getting very scarce of ammunition after the fighting; the itinerary says the command subsisted mostly on corn taken in the country. Britton says the road was very heavy for the train.

Expedition-wide conditions from interested reports, a compiled itinerary and a history; not specific to February 13.

supportedunresolved Britton says McNeil directed Phillips to prevent the reorganization of the Southern Indians, disperse any bodies still together and distribute the President's proclamation. Phillips says he intended the blow partly for its moral effect on the Indian nations and would attempt nothing that might force him back. The frozen description says the expedition was to meet, defeat or destroy Confederate forces.

Stated aims from a history, an interested report and a summary.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen result reads Union victory and the live result Union Victory. Phillips's relayed report says the enemy were completely routed; the itinerary says they were routed and pursued a considerable distance; Britton says the action lasted less than half an hour. The frozen description says the poorly armed Confederates made a determined stand for half an hour, and that fear of fresh Confederate forces led the Federals to retire to Fort Gibson.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. The return to Fort Gibson is the expedition's end, not the engagement's result.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads Unknown, while the frozen description says 47 Confederates were killed; the live field reads 47 (US 0; CS 47). Phillips's February 14 report, relayed by Thayer, gives 47 killed with wounded unknown; the itinerary and Britton give 49 Confederate dead left on the field. Phillips's February 24 report gives about 250 killed and 4 wounded for the whole expedition.

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. The expedition total is not assigned to this record; no Union loss for February 13 is given.

supportedunresolved Phillips's relayed report says the attack was made by his advance under Major Willetts. His February 15 letter to John Jumper refers to Jumper's personal bravery and his defeat in the late engagement. Britton credits the rout to Phillips. The frozen commanders are Lieutenant Colonel John Jumper and Major Charles Willette; the live page gives the same. The frozen description names the expedition's commander 'Col. John F. Phillips'; the inspected reports are headed Col. William A. Phillips.

Command roles from interested reports and a history; the listed commanders do not receive automatic sole credit. The reports spell the Union major 'Willetts'. The frozen description's 'John F. Phillips' is a name discrepancy in the frozen text, not a commander row.

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 reads Three companies of the 14th Kansas Cavalry Regiment and a section of Howitzers [US] and the Seminole Battalion, Company A, 1st Choctaw and Chickasaw Cavalry Regiment, and a detachment of 20th Texas Regiment [CS], with no numerical bounds; the live field reads 0 total with the US and CS figures blank. Britton says Phillips left Fort Gibson with about one thousand men in all, including a battalion of the Fourteenth Kansas Cavalry under Major Charles Willetts. Phillips says the force he took farthest south was 450 mounted men and one howitzer. His February 14 report, relayed by Thayer, says the attack was made by his advance under Willetts and the enemy were Seminoles, Choctaws and Texans; his February 16 report says Jumper's Chickasaw and Seminole regiment was broken to pieces in the late battle. His February 24 report says the Fourteenth Kansas, which was to be the backbone of the expedition, was not sent, while the itinerary lists a battalion of the Fourteenth Kansas under Willetts.

Expedition and column strengths, not a count of the advance engaged; no Confederate figure inspected. The inspected passages do not reconcile Phillips's 'was not sent' with the Fourteenth Kansas battalion under Willetts; the regiment against a battalion is one possible reading and is not established. None is adopted as a matched opening strength.

No inspected passage describes the ground at Middle Boggy. Britton's heavy roads and Phillips's rain and rising streams are expedition-wide conditions, not the engagement site.
