FORT SMITH, Ark. – The deadliest day in U.S. Marshal Service history took place April 15, 1872, near the town of Christie in Adair County, which was located in the Cherokee Nation’s Goingsnake District.
The gunfight between a marshal posse and CN citizens took place at a schoolhouse being used as a courthouse to try the case of CN citizen Ezekial “Zeke” Proctor. 
“This is definitely one of the stories the museum wants to tell…not just from the marshal’s side of it but from the Cherokee Nation’s side of it because we really want to find the whats and whys and hows, and there’s a reason we refer to this as ‘The Tragedy of Goingsnake’ and not ‘The Goingsnake Massacre,’ David Kennedy, U.S. Marshals Museum in Fort Smith curator, said. “This was the bloodiest gunfight that ever took place in the American west that the military wasn’t involved in.” ....
