Civil war in the west
When we say American Civil War, readers usually think of terms like the Confederacy and the Union, the secession of the South from the North, the names of generals like Grant and Lee, the names of battlefields like Bull Run, Antietam and Gettysburg, and last but not least the southern surrender of Appomattox. However, few people are aware that North and South troops have fought bloody battles not only in the eastern United States,but also on the battlefields of New Mexico and Texas.
