Andy Thomas (Illustrator)
A Campaign from
Santa Fe to the Mississippi: A History of the Old Sibley Brigade,
1861-1864, by Theophilus Noel, ed. Martin Hardwick
Hall and Edwin Adams Davis. This is a great account of the Sibley Brigade's
activities in New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana written by an elisted man in
the Sibley Brigade. The perspective is definitely biased but the author attempts
to state facts rather than opinions and made use of the official records
that were available to him when he wrote the account in 1865. This
book is difficult to find but if you are interested, e-mail me at
Nelson@sicembears.com.
Sibley's New
Mexico Campaign, by Martin Hardwick Hall. Well written
historic account of the Sibley Brigade's activities in New Mexico along with
thoughtful analysis of the reasons for the failure of the attempt to take
and hold New Mexico for the Confederacy. Draws heavily on the Noel account
(referenced above). This book is difficult to find but
if you are interested, e-mail me at
