| A total of 219 engagements between the army and the Indians in Texas can be documented. Sufficient data exist on 158 to classify the encounters as resulting from scouts, pursuits, large-scale expeditions, or escort duties. After the Civil War, most common types of military engagements in Texas shifted from pursuits to more-routine scouting. (See Smith 2000, The Old Army in Texas: A Research Guide to the U. S. Army in Nineteenth-Century Texas.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
