Fighting in the Desert: The American Civil War in the Southwest

On September 14, 20022 the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, presented a lecture by Pulitzer Prize nominated author Dr. Megan Kate Nelson. In this lecture, Dr. Nelson discussed the American Civil War by introducing the national conflict’s impact on Indigenous peoples in the West and analyzing the strategic connections between the Civil War, Indian War, and western expansion. In highlighting the Civil War in the West, Dr. Nelson points attention to nine charismatic individuals who fought for regional control in the West in the midst of the larger military conflict.

    Currently reading her book. It's very informative and I recommend to those who seek and want to become imaginative with western war theater and it's history.

    USAHEC should host more lectures like this that cover the so-called "Minor Theaters" of conflict.

    The Confederacy shipping substantial tonnages of cotton out of San Diego? Apparently it wasn't just tobacco they were growing and using.
