Bull Run, Gettysburg, Appomattox. For Americans, these
battlegrounds, all located in the eastern United States, will
forever be associated with the Civil War. But few realize that the
Civil War was also fought far to the west of these sites. The
westernmost battle of the war took place in the remote deserts of
the future state of Arizona.In this first book-length account of
the Civil War in Arizona, Andrew E. Masich offers both a lively
narrative history of the all-but-forgotten California Column in
wartime Arizona and a rare compilation of letters written by the
volunteer soldiers who served in the U.S. Army from 1861 to 1866.
Enriched by Masich's meticulous annotation, these letters provide
firsthand testimony of the grueling desert conditions the soldiers
endured as they fought on many fronts. Southwest Book Award Border
