KIT CARSON Ep. 4 | “Civil War”

Legends of the Old West - A podcast by Black Barrel Media - Wednesdays

By 1862, the Civil War has stretched across the continent to the farthest territories of the West. Kit Carson joins the effort in New Mexico and leads a unit of volunteers at the Battle of Valverde. In the next engagement, the Battle of Glorieta Pass, Union forces stop the Confederate threat in New Mexico and effectively end the fighting in the territory. With the war subsiding in New Mexico, army officers turn their attention to the Navajo and the Apache, and the beginning of the reservation system.
