You won't find much on Daniel, other than what I've written. He is purely a fictional character. With that said, though, you might enjoy looking up and reading about the Trans-Mississippi Confederacy and the role played by the Five Civilized Tribes. A good place to start might be with Stand Watie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_Watie
I took you back a little further, The attack on Fort Mimms and the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. It happened in AL, I am curious about the timing of the civil war you speak of, another Grandfather took his family and ran off into the swamps when the census bureau came knocking. I do know enough to know it was nothing like the movies...in the 1800's white men were marrying indian princesses for the chieftans land. Traders as they were.
