#SHATTERED UNION VICTORY CONDITIONS REGISTRATION#
This lesson plan is based on the National Register of Historic Places registration file, " Glorieta Battlefield" (with photographs),and other sources. Glorieta Pass was another great turning point in the Civil War, the battle that shattered the western dreams of the Confederate States of America.
Referred to as the "Gettysburg of the West" by many historians, this running battle along canyon and ridge from March 26-28, 1862 culminated in the retreat back to Texas of the invading Confederate forces. Victory here would be a necessary prelude to detaching the western states from the Union and expanding the Confederacy to the Pacific Ocean. Here volunteers from Colorado clashed with tough Texans intent on conquering New Mexico. This battle-the Battle of Glorieta Pass-represented the high water mark for a bold Confederate offensive into Union Territory on the western frontier. Spanish conquistadors named these mountains Sangre de Cristo, "blood of Christ," but in 1862, it was the blood of warring brothers that bathed the land near Pigeon's Ranch. This lesson is part of the National Park Service’s Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) program.Ī peaceful ranch, once a stage stop on the Santa Fe Trail, rests in a circular valley clasped by steep mountains.
