The Battle of Glorieta: Union Victory in the Westvolume 61 Paperback - 2000
by Don E. Alberts; Foreword by Donald S. Frazier
From the rear cover
The high Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico seem an unlikely site for a desperate Civil War battle, but on March 28, 1862, the army of Gen. Henry Hopkins Sibley, seeking to conquer the West for the Confederacy but dangerously short of supplies, fought Federal forces in a costly battle at Glorieta Pass.
The Rebels were victorious until Federal cavalry under Col. John Chivington unexpectedly found the Confederate supply train and destroyed it, leaving the Southern soldiers isolated and nearly defenseless. After a few additional skirmishes, the hungry, dispirited, and disorganized Rebels straggled back to Texas and abandoned their quest for expansion into the Southwest.
The definitive work on the battle, Don E. Albert's The Battle of Glorieta: Union Victory in the West offers a detailed history of this blind, groping struggle in the smoke-filled valley. Based on documentary and archaeological evidence, The Battle of Glorieta presents both the Confederate and Federal military organization and approach to the battle, incorporates all known Union participant accounts, and details the exact complement of both Confederate and Federal artillery.
Alberts also reveals, with rigorous supporting evidence, a whole new site for the Battle of Apache Canyon and reaches the startling, yet now inevitable, conclusion that the Battle of Glorieta was indeed a clear and significant Union victory.
