    MEMORIALIZATION OF FORGOTTEN STEPS: NATIVE AMERICAN PARTICIPATION IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR Stefanie M. Haire A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Middle Tennessee State University December 2019 Thesis Committee: Chair: Dr. Carroll Van West Dr. Lisa Pruitt To the absolute light of my life and world, Orion Zarek. I love you so much more than to the moon and back. You are forever my inspiration, little love bug. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not be complete without first thanking my committee for their unwavering support of my studies and professional goals. Both Dr. Carroll Van West and Dr. Lisa Pruitt have offered nothing but constant encouragement from the first day that I began my master’s degree at Middle Tennessee State University, and I am forever grateful to them for that. Thank you also to Dr. West for offering me the opportunity to serve as a Graduate Research Assistant at the MTSU Center for Historic Preservation during my time as a student. The countless hours of field work and research have only made me into a better historian, and I cannot understate my gratitude for taking me on after that fateful phone interview while I worked at Zion National Park. On that note, thanks are warranted to the National Park Service as well. Without the opportunities that I have received at Pipe Spring National Monument and Zion National Park, I know that I would have continued to struggle with my path in this life. Brandon and Miriam, I will always cherish the steadfast support and encouragement that you both offered so generously to me.
