A limited-edition reprint of the rarest and most-quoted contemporary book on the Confederate side of the Civil War in the Far West. Noel was with the Sibley Brigade, toughest Confederate unit that fought entirely west of the Mississippi: in New Mexico, at Galveston and in the Red River battles in Louisiana. Few fighting outfits of North and South rode as far or fought in such diverse areas as did the Sibley Brigade: from the deserts of New Mexico to the bayous of Louisiana. Published in 1865, this unofficial and human account has been called "one of the rarest and most fascinating of Confederate books." Major battles in New Mexico included those at Valverde and Glorieta. Battles in Louisiana included Bisland, Franklin, Lafourche, Fordcohe, Bourbeau, Mansfield, Pleasant Hill and Yellow Bayou. Sibley's troops also took part in the battle of Galveston, Texas. The Sibley Brigade as organized at San Antonio in 1861. It rode west to fight in every major battle in New Mexico. The editors discuss Sibley's where it regrouped and took part in the victory at Galveston. In 1863, Sibley's men marched to Louisiana to play a major role in the battles of the Red River campaign. Late in 1864 the Brigade returned to Texas. --

The Civil War in 1861 found Southerners a minority throughout the West. Early efforts to create military forces were quickly suppressed. Many returned to the South to fight while others remained where they were, forming a potentially disloyal population. Underground movements existed throughout the war in Colorado, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and even Idaho. Repeatedly betrayed and overwhelmed by Union forces and without communications with the South, these groups were ineffective. In southern New Mexico, Southerners, who were the majority, aligned themselves with the Confederacy. Four small companies of irregulars, one Hispanic, fought (effectively) as part of the abortive Confederate invasion force of 1861-2. The most famous of these, the "Brigands," were close in function to a modern special forces unit. In 1862 the Brigands were sent into Colorado to join up with a secret army of 600-1,000 men massing there, but were betrayed. Returning to Texas, the Brigands and the other irregulars were used for special operations in the West throughout the War; they also fought in the Louisiana-Arkansas campaigns of 1863-4.

The epic story of the 1,000 Colorado Union troops who fought against 3,000 Confederate troops in New Mexico during the Civil War. Drawing on previously overlooked diaries, letters, and contemporary newspaper accounts, military historian Flint Whitlock brings the Civil War in the West to life. Distant Bugles, Distant Drums details the battles of 1,000 Coloradans against 3,000 Confederate soldiers in New Mexico and offers vivid portraits of the leaders and soldiers involved, men whose strengths and flaws would shape the fate of the nation. On their way to Colorado in search of gold and silver for the Confederacy’s dwindling coffers, Texan Confederates won a series of engagements along the Rio Grande. Hastily assembled troops that had marched to meet them from Colorado finally turned them back in an epic conflict at Gloriéta Pass. Miners, farmers, and peacetime officers turned themselves overnight into soldiers to keep the Confederacy from capturing the West’s mines, shaping the outcome of the Civil War. Distant Bugles, Distant Drums tells their story. Southwest Book Award Winner from the Border Regional Library Association “An important new book by Denver military historian Flint Whitlock . . . This well-written, solidly researched history of Colorado’s Union troops is eye-opening.” —Rocky Mountain News "This volume is Civil War military history at its very best. The research, especially in primary sources, is fresh, the interpretation is informed and concise, and the writing is skillful. Follow Whitlock’s engagingly crafted narrative. He introduces you to the officers, soldiers, politicians, and merchants. He tells of their competence, loyalty, opportunities, and accomplishments.” —James H. Nottage, Blue & Gray Magazine

"This volume unifies the concerns of Civil War and western history, revealing how Confederate secession created new and shifting borderlands. In the West, both Civil War battlefields and Civil War politics engaged a wider range of ethnic and racial distinctions, raising questions that would arise only later in places farther east. Likewise, the histories of occupation, reincorporation, and expanded citizenship during Reconstruction in the South have ignored the connections to previous as well as subsequent efforts in the West. The stories contained in this volume complicate our understanding of the paths from slavery to freedom for white as well as non-white Americans. By placing the histories of the American West and the Civil War and Reconstruction into one sustained conversation, this volume expands the limits of both by emphasizing how struggles over land, labor, sovereignty, and citizenship shaped the U.S. nation-state in this tumultuous era. This volume highlights significant moments and common concerns of this continuous conflict, as it stretched across the continent and throughout the nineteenth century"--Provided by publisher.
