The 1862 Confederate invasion of New Mexico is a little known episode of Civil War history. In the Journal of A. B. Peticolas, however, the experiences of the Sibley Brigade come to life, beginning on 21 February 1862, the morning of the battle of Valverde, the first and largest Civil War battle in New Mexico, and ending with the company's marching back to Texas on 15 June 1862. The author has consulted every known journal, diary and memoir by both Confederate and Federal participants, so the journal is extensively annotated.

About the Author

Dr. Don E. Alberts (1935-2010) was a leading authority on the Civil War in the far West. Alberts earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical and aeronautical engineering from the University of New Mexico. He served on the carrier U.S.S. Yorktown as a Naval aviator. He was a technical staff member at the Sandia National Laboratory, before returning to graduate school at the University of New Mexico, where he received his Ph.D. in military and western history. Dr. Alberts taught at the University of Albuquerque and at Texas Tech University. For many years he was chief historian for Kirtland Air Force Base and served as historian for the Bureau of Reclamation in Albuquerque. Alberts was also the author of: "General Wesley Merritt: Brandy Station to Manila Bay" and "Balloons to Bombers," the history of aviation in Albuquerque, as well as numerous articles and writings on military and aviation history. His "Battle of Glorieta: Union Victory in the West" continues to be the definitive work on the events which decided the fate of Sibley’s New Mexico campaign in 1862.
