Glorieta Pass, New Mexico

Anybody else interested in the Texans' campaign in N.M.?  I've been to the battleground there at Glorieta, also visited Fort Union. 
Very interesting goings-on in Denver, Co. at the early stages of the war.

I've read

Alberts, Don. 1993 Rebels on the Rio Grande: the Civil War Journal of A.B. Peticolas. Albuequerque: Merit.

I've also had the privilege of both being allowed to hold and read Mr. Peticolas' Civil War Journal.  One of his Great-GrandDaughters has it.

Wolfbrother thats very cool, to actually hold the original journals. I read that book also.  I had the good fortune to go on a Parks Service (?) tour of the battleground with a Sons of Confederate Vets group.  saw where the supply wagons were burned, walked on the battle site.
i don't know how things could have turned out different.  the Texans were a long way from any supplies.  Maybe they should have hunkered down in Santa Fe.
Anyway, what a fantastic story. They dreamed big in those days.
