“As Abraham Lincoln said, ‘If you are racist, I will attack you with the North.'”

Day 112

No, he really didn’t say that. Today’s Office (mis)quote by the venerable Mr. Scott is in honor of the 145th anniversary of the Battle of Glorieta Pass, which took place on 28 March 1862 in New Mexico.

Who knew the Civil War stretched all the way to New Mexico? Not me – you learn something new every day.

A total of 4300 troops fought at Glorieta Pass; the losses included 38 Union dead, 36 Confederate dead, and a combined 134 wounded, according to history.com. The Yanks emerged victorious over the invading Rebels, who were driven from New Mexico for good in June of that year.

I never knew about the Battle of Glorieta Pass until today. Still, I’m thankful for those men who fought and died for our freedom in this small battle in a great war.

Onward.
