Forces Massed Against Todians Led by Governor Crawford
The field army against the Todians includes Kansas cavalry under Governor Crawford with fifteen hundred, plus seven companies of the 5th cavalry, eleven of the 7th, four of the 10th, one of the 18th infantry (colored), one of the 9th infantry, and Forsyth's contingents, totaling about two thousand. Fort Wallace holds a part of the force as a reserve, while a western column heads toward the Arkansas and Anadaga with others joining General Bully's command. Reports say many Ute Indians may also join, as the principal hostile tribes Apache, Kiowa, Comanche, Arapaho, and Dog Soldiers roam, mostly north of Smoky Hill, with others south of the Arkansas river building winter lodges. They can muster three to five thousand armed with carbines and revolvers.
