Gen. Stand Waties Indian regiment (the last remaining Confederate land combatant force, surrendered June 23, 1865). The Department of the Trans-Mississippi primarily consisted of the four Confederate states west of the Mississippi (Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Missouri), as well as the two Confederate Territories roughly corresponding to the present day states of Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona. Major campaigns fought in this Department included Sibleys New Mexico campaign, Bankss Red River campaign, and Price's Missouri campaign, amongst others.
