Colorado Volunteers in New Mexico, 1862

Publisher's full blue cloth, gilt lettering on spine, gilt medallion on cover, t.e.g. B&W illustrations. An important account of Civil War battles in New Mexico and the role of Colorado volunteers, including the Battle of Glorieta Pass and the defeat of General Sibley's Texas Confederate soldiers. Originally published in 1863 as the History of the 1st Regiment of Colorado Volunteers. "Hollister's eyewitness account of the New Mexico campaign of 1861 and 1862, which stopped the drive of the Confederates to penetrate California and to block the sizable flow of California gold so helpful to the Northern cause. Victory that might have given the South control of the Southwest and of California would hardly have played a decisive part in the outcome of the War -unless it could eventually be accompanied by victory in the theatres east of the Mississippi." . Front hinge starting but strong, spine mildly creased, else fine. VERY GOOD. . The Lakeside Classics Series. Vol. 60. B&W Illustrations. 16mo 6" - 7" tall. xxxii, (i), 309 pp
