About This Item
College Station, TX.: Texas A&M University Press, 1996 Texas A&M University Press, College Station, TX. 1996. Softcover/Trade Wraps. #41 in the Texas A&M University Military History Series. 2nd Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; light shelf wear to tips. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 361 pp 8vo. This detailed narrative of how Confederate troops tried to capture the Southwest to extend the Southern empire presents new interpretations of a little-known aspect of Civil War. Led by LTC John Baylor and GEN H.H. Sibley, Confederate soldiers from Texas trekked from San Antonio, TX to Fort Bliss, TX then north along the Rio Grande to Santa Fe. Fighting both Apaches and Federal troops, the half-trained, undisciplined army met success at the Battle of Valverde and defeat at the Battle of Apache Canyon. Finally they won a sound victory at the Battle of Glorieta Pass, only to lose their supply train and eventually the campaign. A clean very presentable copy.
