I have a question for Andy.

You have shown us the importance of Galveston during the civil war, but, I'd like to know what part Indianola (if any) played in keeping the supply lines open from Havana and Mexico?
 
I'm not Andy but here is a little bit of the history of Indianola during the ACW:

"...Indianola was bombarded by Union gunboats on October 26, 1862, then occupied and looted. The Union forces withdrew the following month but returned in November 1863, seized the city again, and remained until 1864..."
