Overdue History of an Important CIvil War TheaterBy Pitt History Grad StudentThis book opens up the history of an entire new and heretofore neglected theater of the Civil War. Union and Confederate troops fought in the desert Southwest while Apaches; Comanches; and Navajos stepped up attacks on traditional Indian and Hispano enemies; and pitched battles raged south of the border as Mexicans fought their own civil war. There is a lot more to the Civil War in the Southwest borderlands than I ever thought possible. This book explains much about the clash of cultures and the world we have inherited in the fastest growing region of the country today.
