The Civil War in the Southwest: The Rebel’s Crumbling Empire, The End of the War in Arizona Territory, & Confederate Jasmine
This episode is the 11th and final and it covers the end of the Civil War in the Southwest as the Rebels Retreat completely out of New Mexico. It covers the low morale of the Confederate Troops, Sibley’s woes, the final battle in the Territory at Paraje, eighteen-year-old Felix Robert Collard’s odyssey through the Jornada del Muerte, the troubles with the locals, and more. I then finish the series with a brief background of myself before I read the short story Confederate Jasmine from V.N. Ebert’s Georgia Buddha in its entirety.
The cover includes the ruins of Fort Craig with the San Mateo Mountains in the background.
The slideshow contains: Alamo at San Antonio, San Antonio River Walk, Fort Craig, Battlefield of Valverde, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Glorietta Pass & Pecos National Historical Park, and Glorietta Pass Battlefield, Picacho Peak State Park in Arizona, The San Mateo Mountains near Fort Craig, Stone Mountain in Atlanta, Georgia.
