Question: Which leader of the Cherokee Nation led Confederate forces in the ambush of the steamboat "J.R. Williams"?
Context: The Battle of Calcasieu Pass was a minor skirmish fought on May 6, 1864, at the mouth of the Calcasieu River in southwestern Louisiana, during the American Civil War.  It resulted in a Confederate victory.  The participants of the battle were Lt. Benjamin Loring and Lt. C. W. Lamson on the Union’s side, and Col. W. H. Griffin on the Confederate side.  The union brought along two naval vessels, the U.S.S Wave and the U.S.S Granite City.  The U.S.S Wave did not prove too effective during the battle and was captured early on, it was soon turned into a Confederate cargo ship.  The U.S.S Granite City was originally a confederate blockade vessel, but was captured in 1863 by the U.S.S Tioga (Union).  The U.S.S Granite City was now back in the hands of the Confederates.  Captain Joseph A. Brickhouse, a Confederate veteran, said, “We fought in the open prairie, bringing on the attack with four small pieces of artillery and less than 300 infantry, poorly armed, attacking in the open prairie two such boats as the Granite City and Wave - Union gunboats - and capturing them after an action of less than two hours and 40 minutes duration.”  He described his own forces (Confederate) as unprepared, and he stated that they still had an easy battle that was short in duration.  The Confederate forces in this battle were split up into five battalions.  The first battalion was Creuzbauer's Battery, 5th Texas Artillery.  Every soldier in this battalion was born in Germany, and they all migrated to the U.S during the Civil War.  The second battalion was named Griffin’s Battalion, and was led by Col. William Henry Griffin.  The third battalion was Spaight’s Battalion, led by Lt. Col. Ashley W. Spaight.  And the final one was Daly’s Battalion, the only cavalry unit in the battle.  The U.S.S Wave and the U.S.S Granite City received orders to proceed to Calcasieu Pass.  When they arrived, immediately bombed an abandoned Confederate fort at the mouth of the river.  The Gunboats were sent with money to purchase cattle from local southern farmers.  The U.S.S Granite City ended up stealing cattle and horses from multiple farms.  This prompted a Confederate attack.  The local Confederate forces arrived quietly and prepared for a night-time attack on the Union forces.  When the Union went to sleep, they let less-experienced soldiers man the guns.  The Confederates seized the opportunity and moved their cannons closer.  The cannons lined up 1,000 yards away from the gunboats, while the cavalry and foot-soldiers advanced.  Numerous cannon shells penetrated the gunboat’s hulls.  While the cavalry and foot-soldiers moved in, the artillery advanced as well, and finished off the vessels.  On May 8th, Ella Morse, a Union Supply ship did not know of the Union casualties.  Then brought moved up all the way to the other ships with supplies.  When she noticed that confederates were manning the guns it was too late.  They gunned the ship down.  The Union Forces suffered many casualties.  They lost the Ella Morse, the U.S.S Granite City, the U.S.S Wave, and the U.S.S New London.  On the other hand, the Confederates did not lose too many soldiers.  The Confederates only suffered a few men from each battalion. The Treaty of Turkeytown, also known as the Treaty with the Cherokee and the Treaty of Chickasaw Council House was negotiated on 14 September 1816, between delegates of the former Cherokee Nation on the one part and Lieutenant General Andrew Jackson, General David Meriwether and Jesse Franklin, Esq., who served as agents of the United States in the capacity of "commissioners plenipotentiary", on the other part.  Conducted following the Creek War, the initial meeting was held at the Chickasaw Council House and stipulated a further meeting on 28 September 1816, to be conducted at "Turkey's Town", on the Coosa River, near the present day town of Centre, in Etowah County, Alabama.  The treaty was ratified by the Cherokee Nation at Turkeytown on 4 October 1816, and signed by Pathkiller, then Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. Lola Sánchez (1844 – 1895) was one of three sisters who became spies for the Confederate Army during the American Civil War.  Sánchez became upset when their father was falsely accused of being a Confederate spy by the members of the Union Army and imprisoned.  Officers of the Union Army then occupied the Sánchez residence in Palatka, Florida.  On one occasion Sánchez overheard various officers’ planning a raid and decided to alert the Confederates forces.  She informed Captain John Jackson Dickison, commander of the local Confederates forces, of the plan.  The result of her actions was that the Confederate forces surprised the Union troops in an ambush and captured the USS Columbine, a Union warship, on the day of the supposed raid in the "Battle of Horse Landing".  This was one of the few instances in which a Union warship was captured by land-based Confederate forces during the Civil War. The ambush of the steamboat "J.R. Williams" was a military engagement during the American Civil War.  It took place on May 10, 1864 on the Arkansas River in Indian Territory which became encompassed by the State of Oklahoma.  It is popularly termed the "only naval battle" in that landlocked state.  It was a successful Confederate attack on the Union Army's lines of supply.  The Confederate forces were Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw and Creek Indians led by General Stand Watie, who was a Cherokee. John Thompson Drew (1796 – August 25, 1865) was a mixed blood military and political leader of the Cherokee Nation.  Born in 1796, there is little written about his life until he led a company of Cherokee emigrants from Georgia to Indian Territory.  The "Cherokee Encyclopedia" states that he was a participant in the Battle of Claremore Mound in 1818.  He is best known for joining the Confederate Army at the outbreak of the American Civil War, when he raised, organized and led the 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles.  He moved his home from the Cherokee Nation to the Chickasaw Nation near the end of the war to escpe intra-tribal bloodshed. The Cherokee Nation (Cherokee: ᏣᎳᎩᎯ ᎠᏰᎵ, "Tsalagihi Ayeli"), also known as the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, is the largest of three Cherokee federally recognized tribes in the United States.  It was established in the 20th century and includes people descended from members of the Old Cherokee Nation who relocated from the Southeast due to increasing pressure to Indian Territory and Cherokee who were forced to relocate on the Trail of Tears.  The tribe also includes descendants of Cherokee Freedmen and Natchez Nation.  Over 299,862 people are enrolled in the Cherokee Nation, with 189,228 living within the state of Oklahoma.  According to Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) head Larry EchoHawk, the Cherokee Nation is not the historical Cherokee tribe but instead a "successor in interest." The Cherokee Casino Roland is a casino complex located in Roland, Oklahoma.  It is owned and operated by Cherokee Nation Entertainment, a division of Cherokee Nation Businesses (which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Cherokee Nation). The Cherokee Nation Foundation is an organization serving the Cherokee Nation, a federally recognized tribe of more than 300,000 citizens.  Its mission is to provide educational opportunities to Cherokee students so that they can reach their full potential.  The Cherokee Nation Foundation is a tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Cherokee Nation of Mexico, also known as the Cherokee Nation of Sequoyah of Mexico, Texas, and U.S.A. Reservation and Church is an organization of individuals who claim descent from Cherokee people who migrated to Mexico in the 19th century.  They are an unrecognized tribe with a presence in Zaragoza, Coahuila, Mexico.  According to Robert J. Conley, the Cherokee Nation of Mexico is recognized by the state of Coahuilla; however, according to the Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas, which manages the official surveys of indigenous groups in Mexico, the only indigenous peoples in Coahuila are the Kickapoo people. Stand Watie (Cherokee: ᏕᎦᏔᎦ , "Degataga ", 'Stand firm' ) (December 12, 1806 – September 9, 1871) — also known as Standhope Uwatie, Tawkertawker, and Isaac S. Watie — was a leader of the Cherokee Nation, and not only a brigadier general of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, but the only Native American general of the Confederate Army.  He commanded the Confederate Indian cavalry of the Army of the Trans-Mississippi, made up mostly of Cherokee, Muskogee and Seminole, and was the final Confederate general in the field to cease hostilities at war's end.
